- All Implemented Interfaces:
Configurable
,Contextualizable
Checks that switch statement has a default
clause.
Rationale: It's usually a good idea to introduce a default case in every switch statement. Even if the developer is sure that all currently possible cases are covered, this should be expressed in the default branch, e.g. by using an assertion. This way the code is protected against later changes, e.g. introduction of new types in an enumeration type. Note that the compiler requires switch expressions to be exhaustive, so this check does not enforce default branches on such expressions.
To configure the check:
<module name="MissingSwitchDefault"/>
Example of violation:
switch (i) { // violation case 1: break; case 2: break; }
Example of correct code:
switch (i) { case 1: break; case 2: break; default: // OK break; }
