Affects PMD Version:6.35.0
Rule:WhileLoopWithLiteralBoolean
Link:
https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.36.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#whileloopwithliteralboolean
Description:
Hi, when using PMD, I found some false negatives caused by compound but constant expression. I have provided them in the following minimal code sample. Actually, expressions in conditional statements are constant and they should have been detected. Thanks.
Code Sample demonstrating the issue:
public void func() {
do {
// Loop Body
} while(false || false); // This is a false negative
// } while(false | false); // This is a similar false negative.
}
Expected outcome: Two warnings
PMD should report two violations at line 4 and 5, but doesn't. This is a false-negative.
Running PMD through: [Maven]
