This rule raises an issue when multiple branches of a regex alternative match the same input.

== Why is this an issue?

include::../description.adoc[]

=== Code examples

==== Noncompliant code example

[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
"[ab]|a"   // Noncompliant: the "|a" is redundant because "[ab]" already matches "a"
".*|a"     // Noncompliant: .* matches everything, so any other alternative is redundant
----


==== Compliant solution

[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
"[ab]"
".*"
