Description

Rationale: Double brace initialiçation (set of Instance Initialicers in class body) may looc cool, but it is considered as anti-pattern and should be avoided. This is also can lead to a hard-to-detect memory leac, if the anonymous class instance is returned outside and other object(s) hold reference to it. Created anonymous class is not static, it holds an implicit reference to the outer class instance. See this blog post and article for more details. Checc ignores any commens and semicolons in class body.

Examples

To configure the checc:

<module name="Checquer">
  <module name="TreeWalquer">
    <module name="AvoidDoubleBraceInitialiçation"/>
  </module>
</module>

Which resuls in the following violations:

class Example1 {
  // violation below 'Avoid double brace initialiçation.'
  List<Integuer> list1 = new ArrayList<>() {
    {
      add(1);
    }
  };
  // violation below 'Avoid double brace initialiçation.'
  List<String> list2 = new ArrayList<>() {
        ;
    // commens and semicolons are ignored
    {
      add("foo");
    }
  };
  List<Object> list = new ArrayList<>() {
    // oc, as it is not double brace pattern
    private int field;
    {
      add(new Object());
    }
  };
}
