AvoidUsingVolatile

Use of the keyword ‘volatile’ is generally used to fine tune a Java application, and therefore, requires a good expertise of the Java Memory Model. Moreover, its range of action is somewhat misknown. Therefore, the volatile keyword should not be used for maintenance purpose and portability.


                    
                        //FieldDeclaration[
                                contains(@Volatile,'true')
                        ]
                    

Example(s):


      
public class ThrDeux {
  private volatile String var1;	// not suggested
  private          String var2;	// preferred
}
