If (false == true) executes block when throwing exception is inside

Question

I have a rather strange problem that is occurring.

This is my code:

private async Task BreakExpectedLogic()
{
    bool test = false;
    if (test ==          


        

Answer 1

Just an addendum to the answer, I've recently encountered the same issue, and looked to the actual x86 code in the debugger, and it was generated in a weird way like this (simplified):

// if (...) {
0001: jne 0006
...
0006: jmp 0007
// }
0007: ret

So instead of directly jumping to the last instructions of the method, it does double jump, where I believe the second unconditional jump is mistakenly recognized as a part of the code inside if block.

So I would speculate that this bug might be related to JIT compiler.
