Inspectopedia 2024.3 Help

Non-'static' initializer

Reports non-static initializers in classes.

Some coding standards prohibit instance initializers and recommend using constructors or field initializers for initialization. Also, deleting the static keyword may accidentally create non-static initializers and result in obscure bugs.

This inspection doesn't report instance initializers in anonymous classes.

Locating this inspection
