Paul King updated GROOVY-8472:
------------------------------
    Description: 
An example with early return from a method:
{code}
def method(String foo) {
    final str
    try {
        str = foo.trim()
    }
    catch(e) {
        println e
        return null
    }
    int exitCode = str.isInteger() ? str.toInteger() : null
    exitCode
    //str.isInteger() ? str.toInteger() : null // this doesn't trigger the error
}

println method(null)
{code}
And a slight rearrangement of above:
{code}
def method(String foo) {
    final str
    try {
        return foo.trim()
    }
    catch(e) {
        str = '-1'
    }
    int exitCode = str.toInteger() // The variable [str] may be uninitialized
    exitCode
}

println method(null)
{code}

    }

    exitCode
}

println method(null)
{code}
Another example with a while loop:
{code}
int index
final result = -1
int val = 2
while(true) {
    try {
        index = 12/val--
    }
    catch(e) {
        break
    }
    println index // okay
    result = index // The variable [index] may be uninitialized
}
println result // should be found but isn't if -1 above is commented out
{code}
