Last modified: 03 December 2024Reports classes which contain references to one of their subclasses. Such references may be confusing and violate several rules of object-oriented design.
Example:
class Entity {
// Warning: the class references its subclass
void compare(SimpleEntity entity) {
...
}
}
class SimpleEntity extends Entity {
...
}
- By ID
Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
