Sanity4J was created to simplify running multiple static code
analysis tools on the Java projects. It provides a single entry
point to run all the selected tools and produce a consolidated
report, which presents all findings in an easily accessible
manner.
RR: Method ignores results of InputStream.skip() (SR_NOT_CHECKED)
RR: Method ignores results of InputStream.skip() (SR_NOT_CHECKED)
This method ignores the return value of
java.io.InputStream.skip()
which can skip multiple bytes.
If the return value is not checked, the caller will not be able to correctly
handle the case where fewer bytes were skipped than the caller requested.
This is a particularly insidious kind of bug, because in many programs,
skips from input streams usually do skip the full amount of data requested,
causing the program to fail only sporadically. With Buffered streams, however,
skip() will only skip data in the buffer, and will routinely fail to skip the
requested number of bytes.
