== Why is this an issue?

When multiple, adjacent ``++try++`` statements have duplicate ``++catch++`` and/or ``++finally++`` blocks, they should be merged to consolidate the ``++catch/finally++`` logic for cleaner, more readable code. Note that this applies even when there is intervening code outside any ``++try++`` block.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,text]
----
try 
{
  DoTheFirstThing(a, b);
}
catch (InvalidOperationException ex)
{
  HandleException(ex);
}

DoSomeOtherStuff();

try  // Noncompliant; catch is identical to previous
{
  DoTheSecondThing();
}
catch (InvalidOperationException ex)
{
  HandleException(ex);
}

try  // Compliant; catch handles exception differently
{
  DoTheThirdThing(a);
}
catch (InvalidOperationException ex)
{
  LogAndDie(ex);
}
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,text]
----
try 
{
  DoTheFirstThing(a, b);
  DoSomeOtherStuff();
  DoTheSecondThing();
}
catch (InvalidOperationException ex)
{
  HandleException(ex);
}

try  // Compliant; catch handles exception differently
{
  DoTheThirdThing(a);
}
catch (InvalidOperationException ex)
{
  LogAndDie(ex);
}
