com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.blocks

Contains the Block checks that are bundled with the main distribution.

For example this Check flags confusing code like

 public void guessTheOutput()
 {
 int whichIsWich = 0;
 {
 int whichIsWhich = 2;
 }
 System.out.println("value = " + whichIsWhich);
 }
 

 // if (someOldCondition)
 {
 System.out.println("unconditional");
 }
 

A case in a switch statement does not implicitly form a block. Thus to be able to introduce local variables that have case scope it is necessary to open a nested block.

Checks the placement of left curly braces on types, methods and other blocks: TokenTypes.LITERAL_CATCH LITERAL_CATCH , TokenTypes.LITERAL_DO LITERAL_DO , TokenTypes.LITERAL_ELSELITERAL_ELSE , TokenTypes.LITERAL_FINALLY LITERAL_FINALLY , TokenTypes.LITERAL_FOR LITERAL_FOR , TokenTypes.LITERAL_IFLITERAL_IF , TokenTypes.LITERAL_SWITCH LITERAL_SWITCH , TokenTypes.LITERAL_SYNCHRONIZED LITERAL_SYNCHRONIZED , TokenTypes.LITERAL_TRY LITERAL_TRY , TokenTypes.LITERAL_WHILELITERAL_WHILE .

The policy to verify is specified using the LeftCurlyOption class and defaults to LeftCurlyOption.EOL .

Checks for braces around code blocks.

Checks the placement of right curly braces.
