The Inspection feature has highlighted a "constant condition" incorrectly.
Here is a brief reconstruction of the scenario:
class Test
{
void testMethod1() throws Exception {}
void testMethod2() throws Exception {}
public void main(String argv[])
{
boolean callingMethod1 = false;
try
{
callingMethod1 = true;
testMethod1();
callingMethod1 = false;
testMethod2();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
if (callingMethod1)
System.err.println("Error while calling method 1");
else
System.err.println("Error while calling method 2");
}
}
}
Summary: I'm using a boolean to figure out whether an exception occurred
during a call to a particular method.
Problem: the if inside the catch block is highlighted as a constant, with
the claim that the condition is always false.
The obvious oversight is that control can switch to the catch block at a
time when the value is true.
I'm not asking for this to be fixed ASAP (it's a rather unusual scenario,
anyway), just thought you should know about it. ; )
