V6012. The '?:' operator, regardless of its conditional expression, always returns one and the same value.
The analyzer has detected a potential error when using the ternary operator "?:". Regardless of the condition's result, one and the same statement will be executed. There is very likely a typo somewhere in the code.
Consider the following, simplest, example:
int A = B ? C : C;In either case, the A variable will be assigned the value of the C variable.
Let's consider the example, where it is not that easy to notice such an error:
double calc(Box bx, int angle, double scale )
{
return Math.tan((angle % 2 == 0 ?
bx.side_x : bx.side_x) * 0.42) * scale;
};This code has been formatted. In reality, though, it may be written in one line, so it's no wonder that a typo may stay unnoticed. The error here has to do with the member of the "side_x" class being used both times. The correct version of this code should look as follows:
double calc(Box bx, int angle, double scale )
{
return Math.tan((angle % 2 == 0 ?
bx.side_x : bx.side_y) * 0.42) * scale;
};This diagnostic is classified as:
