Abstract

A compiler, IDE or other code analyzer may determine whether an instance variable declaration assignment is redundant. The code analyzer may also take action based on that determination. A code analyzer may be able to determine with certainty that a particular instance variable initialization or assignment is definitely redundant. The code analyzer may cause a compiler to automatically elide the redundant assignment from compiled source code. The code analyzer may be able to determine with certainty that a particular assignment is definitely not redundant. Additionally, a code analyzer may not be able to determine with certainty whether an instance variable assignment is definitely redundant or definitely not redundant. Additionally, the code analyzer may report a warning or other informative message indicating the redundancy property of the assignment, thus alerting the programming to a (possibly) redundant assignment.
