Defer Question

Using Swift
1

Is there any way for me to identify what value is/will be returned by the function in a defer block

here’s some example code

func someFunction() -> Int {
    defer {
        //Can I get the "5" that I'm returning here?
    }
    return 5
}

Not implicitly. You could do something like this:

var returnValue: Int?
defer { use(returnValue!) }

...
returnValue = 5
return returnValue!

though that's obviously not ideal.

And of course if you entered the defer because you're throwing an error, 'returnValue' might not be set.
