Does code in finally get run after a return in Objective-C?

Question

Consider the following code:

@try {
  if (something.notvalid)
  {
    return;
  }
  // do something else
} @catch (NSException *ex) {
  // handle exception
}

Yes. Oddly enough, it does. I'm not sure why, but I just built a test and tried a number of configurations and every time it did.

Here were the configs:

• Return in try block: stopped execution of try block and caused finally to be executed
• Return in try block and return in finally: stopped execution of try and stopped execution in finally block and the entire method.
• Return in finally block: functioned like normal return outside of a try/catch/finally block.
