C# - try-catch (with return) in lock
Hello,
I'm looking at the IL of a function similar to this and it looks like when an exception occurs the lock is not released.
Is this correct?
Can anybody elaborate?
P.S. I know there are other ways of doing this but I want to know why the lock is not being released. (or at least doesn't seem to be being released)

int TestFunc()
{
lock(object)
{
try
{
...
return 1;
}
catch(Exception)
{
return -1;
}
}
}

However I know how it is suppose to work but I wasn't getting the expected behaviour.
I found this and I think this may be what I am seeing.
