Field accessed in both 'synchronized' and unsynchronized contexts

Reports non-final fields that are accessed in both synchronized and non-synchronized contexts. volatile fields as well as accesses in constructors and initializers are ignored by this inspection.

Such "partially synchronized" access is often the result of a coding oversight and may lead to unexpectedly inconsistent data structures.

Example:

public class Program {
  Console console; // warning: Field 'console' is accessed in both synchronized and unsynchronized contexts

  public synchronized void execute() {
    console.print("running");
  }

  public void check() {
    console.check();
  }
}

Use the option to specify if simple getters and setters are counted as accesses too.
