CS.ASSIGN.SELF
A language entity is assigned to itself.
Vulnerability and risk
Self assignment does not have any effect. Even if this is not an error on its own, it may indicate a larger error in the code.
Example 1
1 class Foo {
2 struct Boo {
3 public int x;
4 public Boo(int _x) {
5 x = _x;
6 }
7 }
8
9 void Assigner() {
10 decimal d = 0;
11 d = d; // defect
12 Boo boo1 = new Boo(1),
13 boo2 = new Boo(2);
14 boo1.x = boo2.x; // OK
15 boo2.x = boo2.x; // defect
16 }
17 }
