AvoidReassigningCatchVariables · Issue #2471 · pmd/pmd · GitHub

Proposed Rule Name: AvoidReassigningCatchVariables

Proposed Category: Best Practices

Description:

The rule AvoidReassigningParameters flags a problem when code assigns a value to a method parameter. Here is the reason in documentation.

Reassigning values to incoming parameters is not recommended. Use temporary local variables instead.

This new rule AvoidReassigningCatchVariables will flag a problem when code assigns a value to the catch variable.

I do not know why AvoidReassigningParameters exists. I assume that AvoidReassigningCatchVariables should exist for the same reason.

Code Sample:

...
catch (Exception e)
{
   e = new Exception("Hello World", e);   // This should be flagged as a problem
}
...

// Fixed code
...
catch (Exception e)
{
   Exception wrap;

   wrap = new Exception("Hello World", e);
}

Possible Properties:

This rule does not need any properties.
