Subject: [Eap-list] Constant Condition oversight


> 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.  ; )
