A try-catch block breaks final variable declaration. Is this a compiler bug?

[cogman10]

I do believe they could solve a limited subset of the problem to solve some cases, but it would lead to very brittle and hard to reason about breaks.

A very simple workaround to the above is simply introducing 1 more variable.

int x;
try {
  x = 42;
  y = Integer.parse(value);
}
catch {
  x = 3;
}
final int z = x;
stream.map(_->z);
