Hi all, ASN1Formatter.annotate should be able to throw an IOException according to this comment [1]. But it fails to do so due to the return [2] in the finally block, which would swallow the IOException.
Generally, it seems not good to put a return statement in a finally block because it would overwrite other return-statements or Exceptions [3]. Thanks.
