FinalizeDoesNotCallSuperFinalize

If the finalize() is implemented, its last action should be to call super.finalize.




//MethodDeclaration[MethodDeclarator[@Image='finalize'][not(FormalParameters/*)]]
   /Block
      /BlockStatement[last()]
      [not(Statement/StatementExpression/PrimaryExpression
            [./PrimaryPrefix[@SuperModifier='true']]
            [./PrimarySuffix[@Image='finalize']]
          )
      ]
      [not(Statement/TryStatement/FinallyStatement
       /Block/BlockStatement/Statement/StatementExpression/PrimaryExpression
            [./PrimaryPrefix[@SuperModifier='true']]
            [./PrimarySuffix[@Image='finalize']]
          )
      ]


Example(s):



protected void finalize() {
	something();
	// neglected to call super.finalize()
}
