OFF TOPIC: Its also interesting because a try {} catch {} is optimized out with an empty catch (finally with empty finally) ... this changes the JIT compiled code. These changes can have visible side effects ...
as such code like try { } catch(Exception Ex) { Debug.Write(Ex); } can have slightly differing behaviors if #DEBUG is enabled. Personally this is one optimization I could do without :) Cheers, Greg On 8/7/07, Marc Brooks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Usually when people talk about compiler optimizations they mean the JIT. > > CSC does precious little optimization. > > Isn't that the truth (of course that feeds my need for speed at compile time) > > > (http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/01/COptimizations/default.aspx > > ?side=true#a) > > VERY interesting reminder tucked in that document, thanks! > > "A Try-Finally with no code in the Try is left completely alone.
