Possible regression in Julia 1.11 for throw block

[kbarros]

The following code passes in 1.10, but flags an error in 1.11.0-rc1

using JET

function g(x)
    throw("Should JET ignore this? $x")
end

@test_opt unoptimize_throw_blocks=true g(1/3)

The error is:

My understanding of skip_unoptimized_throw_blocks = true (the default) is that it should ignore unoptimization in g, which is known to throw. Is that correct?

Yes, cases like this should be hidden by skip_unoptimized_throw_blocks=true, but due to the current implementation issue of report_opt, such cases can sometimes be reported. I will consider re-implementing report_opt.
However, regarding this particular issue, it is expected to be fixed in v1.11 rc2 and the release version without waiting for a fix on the JET side (xref: JuliaLang/julia#54942).

Thanks! Is it possible to also make JET detect error as well as throw? In my actual use case, the exception originates with an error:

using JET

function g(x)
    error("Please ignore this: $x")
end

@test_opt unoptimize_throw_blocks=true g(1/3)

I created a follow-up issue #647 to track the remaining issue. Thanks again.
