If an error happens during the compilation of a function body, an Error is thrown which can be intercepted, and ensures that finally blocks are executed before the isolate is terminated.
The language spec is vague about compilation errors. A doc describing the intentions behind this CL is at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_MWOgwJadLCQSBps0zD6Rj5dG4iP1UBuiDvTMH-WMzI/edit#
Example:
1 void bad() {
2 return 5
3 }
4
5 void main(args) {
6 bad();
7 }
Before this CL:
$ dart ~/tmp/e.dart
'file:///Users/hausner/tmp/e.dart': error: line 2 pos 11: semicolon expected
return 5
^
$
After this change:
$ dart ~/tmp/e.dart
Unhandled exception:
'file:///Users/hausner/tmp/e.dart': error: line 2 pos 11: semicolon expected
return 5
^
#0 main (file:///Users/hausner/tmp/e.dart:6:3)
#1 _startIsolate.<anonymous closure> (dart:isolate-patch/isolate_patch.dart:259)
#2 _RawReceivePortImpl._handleMessage (dart:isolate-patch/isolate_patch.dart:148)
$
Notice that the stack trace points to the call site of bad(), not the text location of the syntax error. That's not a bug. The location of the syntax error is given in the error message.
