EmptyStatementNotInLoop

EmptyStatementNotInLoop

An empty statement (or a semicolon by itself) that is not used as the sole body of a ‘for’ or ‘while’ loop is probably a bug. It could also be a double semicolon, which has no purpose and should be removed.



//EmptyStatement
 [not(
       ../../../ForStatement
       or ../../../WhileStatement
       or ../../../BlockStatement/ClassOrInterfaceDeclaration
       or ../../../../../../ForStatement/Statement[1]
        /Block[1]/BlockStatement[1]/Statement/EmptyStatement
       or ../../../../../../WhileStatement/Statement[1]
        /Block[1]/BlockStatement[1]/Statement/EmptyStatement)
 ]


Example(s):



public void doit() {
      // this is probably not what you meant to do
      ;
      // the extra semicolon here this is not necessary
      System.out.println("look at the extra semicolon");;
}
