Affects PMD Version:6.42.0
Rule:StringInstantiation
Please provide the rule name and a link to the rule documentation:
https://pmd.github.io/latest/pmd_rules_java_performance.html#stringinstantiation
Description:
Hi, I found a false negative about the rule StringInstantiation. Please read the following code example. PMD should have reported a warning at line 5 because this line create a String object by new. Hence, I think this is a false negative. Thanks for your kind consideration.
Code Sample demonstrating the issue:
String getLiteral() {
return "foo";
}
String foo() {
return new String(getLiteral()); // should report a warning at this line
}
Expected outcome:Warning
PMD should report a violation at line 5, but doesn't. This is a false-negative.
