Reports calls to a simple property getter from within the property's class.

A simple property getter is defined as one which simply returns the value of a field, and does no other calculations. Such simple getter calls can be safely inlined using the quick-fix. Some coding standards also suggest against the use of simple getters for code clarity reasons.

  • Whether to only report getter calls on this, not on objects of the same type passed in as a parameter.

  • Whether to ignore non-private getters.
