Description Philipe Mulet

Build 3.3.0

In following code, observe that resilience on catch block variable is not as good as for standard local variable with unbound type.

public class X {
	void bar() {
		try {
			Zork z = null;
			z.foo();
		} catch(Zork z) {
			z.foo();
		}		
	}
}

The unbound exception type shouldn't block the variable from being declared, so that secondary errors are avoided.
