Class LiteralStringComparison

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    edu.umd.cs.findbugs.Detector, edu.umd.cs.findbugs.Priorities, edu.umd.cs.findbugs.visitclass.Constants2, org.apache.bcel.classfile.Visitor, org.apache.bcel.Constants

    @CustomUserValue
    public class LiteralStringComparison
    extends edu.umd.cs.findbugs.BytecodeScanningDetector
    looks for methods that compare strings against literal strings, where the literal string is passed as the parameter. If the .equals or .compareTo is called on the literal itself, passing the variable as the parameter, you avoid the possibility of a NullPointerException. Updated for 1.7 to not throw false positives for string-based switch statements (which are susceptible to NPEs). String-based switch generate String.equals(Constant) bytecodes, and thus, must be accounted for
