Instance member guarded by static field

Reports @GuardedBy annotations on instance fields or methods in which the guard is a static field. Guarding a non-static by a static may result in excessive lock contention, as access to each locked field in any object instance will prevent simultaneous access to that field in every object instance.

Example:

private static ReadWriteLock lock = new ReentrantReadWriteLock(); //static guarding field
private Object state;

@GuardedBy("lock")
public void bar() {
    state = new Object();
}

Supported @GuardedBy annotations are:

net.jcip.annotations.GuardedBy
javax.annotation.concurrent.GuardedBy
org.apache.http.annotation.GuardedBy
com.android.annotations.concurrency.GuardedBy
androidx.annotation.GuardedBy
com.google.errorprone.annotations.concurrent.GuardedBy
