== Why is this an issue? Creating objects that are not used is a vulnerability that can lead to unexpected behavior. If this was done intentionally due to side effects in the object's constructor, the code should be moved to a dedicated method. == How to fix it === Code examples ==== Noncompliant code example [source,csharp,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant] ---- public void Method(MyObject myObject) { if (myObject is null) { new MyObject(); // Noncompliant } if (myObject.IsCorrupted) { new ArgumentException($"{nameof(myObject)} is corrupted"); // Noncompliant } // ... } ---- ==== Compliant solution [source,csharp,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant] ---- public void Method(MyObject myObject) { if (myObject is null) { myObject = new MyObject(); // Compliant } if (myObject.IsCorrupted) { throw new ArgumentException($"{nameof(myObject)} is corrupted"); // Compliant } // ... } ---- ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) include::../message.adoc[] ''' == Comments And Links (visible only on this page) include::../comments-and-links.adoc[] endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
