When I try to compile code which has been touched by AspectJ, either through
pre-process or actual compilation by AspectJ itself, I see unreachable code
being generated. 

This complaining about unreachable code comes from gcj and is :

    edu/wustl/doc/facet/EventComm/_PushConsumerStub.java: In method
`edu.wustl.doc.facet.EventComm._PushConsumerStub.push(edu.wustl.doc.facet.EventComm.Event)':
    edu/wustl/doc/facet/EventComm/_PushConsumerStub.java:46: bad pc in
exception_table

   when AJC is used in pre-process mode. The code in question is :

public void push(Event param0) {
    while (true){
      if (!this._is_local()) {
        org.omg.CORBA.portable.InputStream _is = null;
        try {
          org.omg.CORBA.portable.OutputStream _os = this._request("push", true);
          EventHelper.write(_os, param0);
          _is = this._invoke(_os);
          return;
        } catch (org.omg.CORBA.portable.RemarshalException _rx) {
        } catch (org.omg.CORBA.portable.ApplicationException _ax) {
          String _id = _ax.getId();
          throw new RuntimeException("Unexpected exception " + _id);
        } finally {
          this._releaseReply(_is);
        }
      } else {
        org.omg.CORBA.portable.ServantObject _so = this._servant_preinvoke("push",
            _PushConsumerStub._opsClass);
        if (_so == null) throw new org.omg.CORBA.UNKNOWN("local invocations not
supported!");        PushConsumerOperations _localServant =
(PushConsumerOperations)_so.servant;
        try {
          _localServant.push(param0);
        } finally {
          this._servant_postinvoke(_so);
        }
        return;
      }
    }
  }


  When AspectJ is asked to directly generate the code, gcj complains of
unreachable bytecodes. An analysis of the .class file reveals that the same
problem manifests itself.
