Instance field used before initialization
Reports instance variables that are read before initialization.
The inspection ignores equality checks with null.
Example:
Note that this inspection uses a very conservative dataflow algorithm and may incorrectly report instance variables as uninitialized. Variables reported as initialized will always be initialized.
Locating this inspection
- By ID
Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
InstanceVariableUsedBeforeInitialized- Via Settings dialog
Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.
Use the Ignore if annotated by option to specify special annotations. The inspection will ignore fields annotated with one of these annotations.
Use the Ignore primitive fields option to ignore uninitialized primitive fields.
