I encounter really weird problem on which I stuck.
I am working on some class library which connects to webservices. The library is used by desktop applications.
In the code I have now:
Int32 errorCode32 = errorCode;
Int32 errorTimeout = 300;
if (errorCode32.Equals(errorTimeout) == false)
{
System.Console.Out.WriteLine("aaa");
return;
}
where errorCode equals to 300. So at the first glance it is visible, that if errorCode == 300 than the code inside the if statement should not be executed because it is defined to be executed only when errorCode is not equal to 300.
Until now everything is clear, but now the whole fun starts.
Application is working and the method with above code snippet is executed. errorCode is equal to 300, that is expected result is that the application will not execute any code inside if statement because whole statement is false. But in reality application goes inside "if" and immediately skips to the "return" statement. System.Console.Out... is never executed. If I will replace clean "return" statement with "throw new SomeException()"
Int32 errorCode32 = errorCode;
Int32 errorTimeout = 300;
if (errorCode32.Equals(errorTimeout) == false)
{
System.Console.Out.WriteLine("aaa");
throw new SomeException();
}
I will get the same result. Application goes into if statement (note: [errorCode32.Equals(errorTimeout) == false] is false in my case), don't execute Console.Out... but throws SomeException.
I rebuilded everything several times, deleted all binaries, I even deleted whole project from disk and retrieved it again from repository to clean folder.
I was so confused that I even disassembled the code to see what happens (even if I am not an expert in assembler). But results are strange for me.
Disassembled code follows:
50: Int32 errorCode32 = errorCode;
000000e5 mov eax,dword ptr [ebp-50h]
000000e8 mov dword ptr [ebp-54h],eax
51: Int32 errorTimeout = 300;
000000eb mov dword ptr [ebp-58h],12Ch
52:
53: if (errorCode32.Equals(errorTimeout) == false)
000000f2 lea ecx,[ebp-54h]
000000f5 mov edx,dword ptr [ebp-58h]
000000f8 call 699EB198
000000fd mov dword ptr [ebp-68h],eax
00000100 movzx eax,byte ptr [ebp-68h]
00000104 mov dword ptr [ebp-48h],eax
00000107 cmp dword ptr [ebp-48h],0
0000010b jne 00000134
54: {
0000010d nop
55: System.Console.Out.WriteLine("aaa");
0000010e call 69538768
00000113 mov dword ptr [ebp+FFFFFF7Ch],eax
00000119 mov edx,dword ptr ds:[0302CE30h]
0000011f mov ecx,dword ptr [ebp+FFFFFF7Ch]
00000125 mov eax,dword ptr [ecx]
00000127 call dword ptr [eax+000000D8h]
0000012d nop
56: return;
0000012e nop
0000012f jmp 00000287
00000134 mov eax,dword ptr ds:[0302CE34h]
0000013a mov dword ptr [ebp-6Ch],eax
0000013d mov edx,5
00000142 mov ecx,6EDE3FBEh
00000147 call FA68D488
0000014c mov dword ptr [ebp-70h],eax
57: }
when I am debugging instructions I can understand what happens until the line:
00000104 mov dword ptr [ebp-48h],eax
I expect that value stored in eax will be copied to location "dword ptr [ebp-48h]" and application wiil go to next line (00000107). But this doesn't happen. When I am trying to step over line 00000104, application immediately jumps to line
00000134 mov eax,dword ptr ds:[0302CE34h]
I cannot understand what happens here. I tried to search over internet but I couldn't find anything useful. Does anybody have any suggestions what could be the reason of the problem or how to solve that?
Edit
I forgot to put information that I am using Visual Studio 2008 and compiling into .NET 3.5. All updates are installed.

You have optimization enabled, and the compiler combined the return statement inside the if statement with the one at the end of the function. The two have the same address, the debugger can't tell which line of source code to highlight, because both match.
There's nothing wrong whatsoever. But if you want stepping through the debugger to work normally, you have to disable optimization.
This is only one of several things the optimizer can do to confuse the debugger. Other possibilities are reordering statements that don't have a data dependency (to optimize the pipeline), even splitting statements apart and putting another statement in between.
