Affects PMD Version:
3.6.0
Rule:
AvoidBranchingStatementAsLastInLoop
Please provide the rule name and a link to the rule documentation:
https://pmd.github.io/latest/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#avoidbranchingstatementaslastinloop
Description:
In the switch statement, continue keywords are detected
even if it is not located last in the loop.
Code Sample demonstrating the issue:
class AvoidBranchingStatement{
public void test(){
//this source code is from apache/netbeans/java/.../data/BreakOrContinue.java
A: while (1 == 1)
B: for (int c = 0; c < 100; c++)
switch (c) {
case 0: break;
case 1: break B;
case 2: break A;
case 3: continue; //detected
case 4: continue A; //detected
case 5: continue B; //detected
}
}
}Simpler,
class AvoidBranchingStatement{
public void test(){
for (int c = 0; c < 100; c++)
switch (c) {
case 0: break;
case 1: break;
case 2: break;
case 3: continue; //detected
case 4: continue; //detected
case 5: continue; //detected
}
}
}Expected outcome:
Only the code line, case 5: continue; might be detected.
