    • Severity 2 - Major

      This will work with any type of assignment:

      int i = 0;
      while ((i = i + 1) < 3)

      { System.out.println(i); }

      The "((i = i + 1) < 3)" will get no coverage with the mouseover hint being: "Expression evaluated to true 0 times, false 0 times."


      The following is no problem however:

      int i = 0;
      while ((++i) < 3) { System.out.println(i); }

      Here is another example that won't work:

      public static void inlineAssignment() {
      Class<?> c = Integer.class;
      while ((c = c.getSuperclass()) != null)

      { System.out.println(c); }

      }

      Since Clover is primarily a coverage tool, I marked this issue Major.

            Unfortunately it is a long standing issue in Clover that it does not support coverage of inline assignments. We don't have any timeframe for resolving this, I'm afraid.
