com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.coding.ParameterAssignmentCheck

All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, Contextualizable

public final class ParameterAssignmentCheck
extends Check

Disallow assignment of parameters.

Rationale: Parameter assignment is often considered poor programming practice. Forcing developers to declare parameters as final is often onerous. Having a check ensure that parameters are never assigned would give the best of both worlds.
