V6036. The value from the uninitialized optional is used.

The analyzer has detected an addressing to the object Optional, which, in turn, is potentially empty. In such a case, there the 'NoSuchElementException' exception will be generated.

Let's consider an example:

PClient getClient(boolean cond, String name, String company, /*args*/)
{
  Optional<PClient> optClient = cond ? 
      Optional.of(new PClient(name, company)) : Optional.empty();
  ...
  PClient pClient = optClient.get();
  ...
  return pClient;
}

After executing the first string, the 'optClient' object can be initialized by an empty Optional depending on the condition. In such a case, a string 'optClient.get()' will generate an exception for which there is no check. This could happen because of carelessness or after refactoring. As an option, code can be corrected as follows:

PClient getClient(boolean cond, String name, String company, /*args*/)
{
  Optional<PClient> optClient = cond ? 
      Optional.of(new PClient(name, company)) : Optional.empty();
  ...
  if (optClient.isPresent())
  {
    PClient pClient = optClient.get();
    ...
    return pClient;
  }
  else
  {
    return null;
  }
}
