== Why is this an issue?

While it is technically correct to assign to parameters from within function bodies, doing so before the parameter value is read is likely a bug. Instead, initial values of parameters should be, if not treated as read-only, then at least read before reassignment.

=== Noncompliant code example

[source,python]
----
def foo(strings, param):
    param = 1  # NonCompliant

Make sure that includes are always surrounded by empty lines (#2270) When an include is not surrounded by empty lines, its content is inlined on the same line as the adjacent content. That can lead to broken tags and other display issues. This PR fixes all such includes and introduces a validation step that forbids introducing the same problem again. 2023-06-22 10:38:01 +02:00
