("Nobody's gotten around to implementing it yet" is the most obvious nontechnical reason for the current difference.) Either way, I'd expect this patch to include test cases for both methods and blocks, to verify that the behavior you expect is actually the behavior that happens. Basically, it ought to have a regression test targeting the regression that I'm predicting is going to spring on someone as soon as they implement optimizations for methods and blocks.

So this patch is not changing anything for Objective-C methods and blocks, and I expect that we *already* have a test that covers this behavior (if not we should add one).
Mehdi is right, the difference is in IRGen - methods and blocks never get the trap and unreachable IR return optmisation. I don't think we have a test for this though, so I added a regression test case that verifies this.
