考虑到这段代码,我能绝对确定finally块总是执行的吗,不管something()是什么?

try {  
    something();  
    return success;  
}  
catch (Exception e) {   
    return failure;  
}  
finally {  
    System.out.println("I don't know if this will get printed out");
}

考虑以下程序:

public class SomeTest {

    private static StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        System.out.println(someString());
        System.out.println("---AGAIN---");
        System.out.println(someString());
        System.out.println("---PRINT THE RESULT---");
        System.out.println(sb.toString());
    }

    private static String someString() {

        try {
            sb.append("-abc-");
            return sb.toString();

        } finally {
            sb.append("xyz");
        }
    }
}

从Java 1.8.162开始,上述代码块提供以下输出:

-abc-
---AGAIN---
-abc-xyz-abc-
---PRINT THE RESULT---
-abc-xyz-abc-xyz

这意味着使用finally释放对象是一种很好的做法,如以下代码所示:

private static String someString() {

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    try {
        sb.append("abc");
        return sb.toString();

    } finally {
        sb = null; // Just an example, but you can close streams or DB connections this way.
    }
}

其他回答

是的,会的。无论try或catch块中发生什么,除非调用System.exit()或JVM崩溃。如果块中有任何return语句,finally将在该return语句之前执行。

示例代码:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(Test.test());
}

public static int test() {
    try {
        return 0;
    }
    finally {
        System.out.println("something is printed");
    }
}

输出:

something is printed. 
0

如果在嵌套的finally块中引发异常,finally也可以提前退出。编译器会警告你finally块没有正常完成,或者给出一个错误,说明你有无法访问的代码。仅当抛出不在条件语句后面或循环内部时,才会显示不可访问代码的错误。

try{
}finally{
   try{
   }finally{
      //if(someCondition) --> no error because of unreachable code
      throw new RunTimeException();
   }
   int a = 5;//unreachable code
}

下面是凯文的回答。重要的是要知道,要返回的表达式在finally之前求值,即使在finally之后返回。

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(Test.test());
}

public static int printX() {
    System.out.println("X");
    return 0;
}

public static int test() {
    try {
        return printX();
    }
    finally {
        System.out.println("finally trumps return... sort of");
        return 42;
    }
}

输出:

X
finally trumps return... sort of
42

除了最后替换try块中的返回之外,异常也是如此。引发异常的finally块将替换try块中引发的返回或异常。
