[ruby-core:97178] [Ruby master Bug#16618] Ensure called twice when raise in ensure

Issue #16618 has been updated by davidsiaw (David Siaw).


I found another issue with this where

```
def meow
  puts 'start'
  begin
    return
    puts 'should not run'
  rescue
    puts 'inner rescue'
  ensure
    puts 'inner ensure'
  end
rescue
  puts 'rescue'
ensure
  puts 'ensure'
  raise 'heh'
end

meow
```

It turns out that the raise gets rescued by the inner rescue, not the rescue above it even though that code should have ended already.

Bug #16618: Ensure called twice when raise in ensure

----------------------------------------
Under very specific circumstances (a `return` with code after it), a `raise` in an `ensure` block causes the `ensure` block to be called twice after rescuing in a `rescue` block above it.

Here is a very small reproduction case:

```ruby
class ABC < StandardError; end

def meow
  return
  puts 'a'
rescue ABC
  puts 'rescue'
ensure
  puts 'ensure'
  raise ABC
end

meow
```

Causes the output 

```
ensure
rescue
ensure
Traceback (most recent call last):
	1: from spec/meow.rb:13:in `<main>'
spec/meow.rb:10:in `meow': ABC (ABC)
```

However, if I remove the code below the `return`, the behavior is more reasonable:

```ruby
class ABC < StandardError; end

def meow
  return
rescue ABC
  puts 'rescue'
ensure
  puts 'ensure'
  raise ABC
end

meow
```

```
ensure
Traceback (most recent call last):
	1: from spec/meow.rb:14:in `<main>'
spec/meow.rb:9:in `meow': ABC (ABC)
```

It does not seem to matter what code comes after `return`. It also does not seem to matter what code comes before the `return`, as long as the `return` is run. It could throw errors or it might not, but there seems to be a definite requirement that there is code after the `return` for this bug to occur.

Possibly related to #13930? I am not sure.
