Using System.exit(1); in try block will not allow finally code to execute
The code in a finally
clause is designed to execute regardless of whether an exception is thrown or not. However, there are certain situations where the finally
block may not execute.
Here are a few scenarios:
- System.exit(): If the JVM exits, the
finally
block may not be executed. - Infinite loop or hanging: If there is an infinite loop or the program hangs, the
finally
block may not get a chance to execute. - Power failure or hardware issues: Unforeseen circumstances like power failure or hardware issues may prevent the
finally
block from executing.
So, while the finally
block is intended to always execute, it’s not an absolute guarantee in all scenarios. In normal program flow and exception handling, the finally
block should execute.
