Eirik Bakke created NETBEANS-407: ------------------------------------ Summary: "Dereferencing possible null pointer" after doing instanceof on variable (false positive) Key: NETBEANS-407 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-407 Project: NetBeans Issue Type: Bug Components: java - FindBugs, java - Hints Affects Versions: 8.2, 9.0 Reporter: Eirik Bakke
In the following example, the "boolean foo = k instanceof Integer" assignment causes a spurious "Dereferencing possible null pointer" warning to occur on the "k.doubleValue()" expression. I believe this did not happen in earlier NetBeans versions (pre-8.2). Note that if the assignment to "boolean foo" is replaced by an if statement ("if (k instanceof Integer)"), the warning goes away. {code:java} public class TestClass { private Number getFoo() { return 3; } public void testFoo() { Number k = getFoo(); // The warning only occurs if this assignment is present. boolean foo = k instanceof Integer; // Warning on .doubleValue() here: "Dereferencing possible null pointer" System.out.println(k.doubleValue()); } } {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
