Affects PMD Version:6.47.0
Rule:ConstructorCallsOverridableMethod
Please provide the rule name and a link to the rule documentation:
https://pmd.sourceforge.io/pmd-6.48.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#constructorcallsoverridablemethod
Description:
Hi, we are doing research in testing static analyzer. Our approach found a false negative about the rule ConstructorCallsOverridableMethod.
In the first example below, PMD should have reported a warning at line 4, but not. However, PMD can report the warning at line 3 in the second example. Hence, I think this is a false negative.
First example (False negative)
public class Foo {
final boolean tag = true;
public Foo() {
bar(tag); // should report a warning at this line
}
public void bar(boolean b) {}
}
Second example (Can be detected)
public class Foo {
public Foo() {
bar(true); // should report a warning at this line
}
public void bar(boolean b) {}
}
Expected outcome:
PMD should report a violation at line 4, but doesn't. This is a false-negative.
