V3086. Variables are initialized through the call to the same function. It's probably an error or un-optimized code.
The analyzer detected a possible error that deals with two different variables being initialized by the same expression. Not all of such expressions are treated as unsafe but only those where function calls are used (or too long expressions).
Here is the simplest case:
x = X();
y = X();Three scenarios are possible:
- The code contains an error, which should be fixed by replacing 'X()' with 'Y()'.
- The code is correct but works slowly. If the 'X()' function is required to perform multiple calculations, a better way is to write 'y = x;'.
- The code is correct and works with proper speed, or the 'X()' function reads the value from a file. To suppress the false positive in this case, use the comment "//-V3086".
Now consider the following example from real code:
string frameworkPath =
Path.Combine(tmpRootDirectory, frameworkPathPattern);
string manifestFile =
Path.Combine(frameworkPath, "sdkManifest.xml");
string frameworkPath2 =
Path.Combine(tmpRootDirectory, frameworkPathPattern2);
string manifestFile2 =
Path.Combine(frameworkPath, "sdkManifest.xml");There is a copy-paste error in this code, which is not easy to notice at first. Actually, it deals with mistakenly passing the first part of the path to the 'Path.Combine' function when receiving the 'manifestFile2' string. The code logic suggests that variable 'frameworkPath2' should be used instead of the originally used 'frameworkPath' variable.
The fixed code should look like this:
string manifestFile2 =
Path.Combine(frameworkPath2, "sdkManifest.xml");Was this page helpful?
