Mismatched query and update of 'StringBuilder'

Reports StringBuilder, StringBuffer or StringJoiner objects whose contents are read but not written to, or written to but not read.

Such inconsistent reads and writes are pointless and probably indicate dead, incomplete, or erroneous code.

Example:

public void m1() { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.append("a"); }
