Overly complex boolean expression
Reports boolean expressions with too many terms. Such expressions may be confusing and bug-prone.
Example:
cond(x1) && cond(x2) ^ cond(x3) && cond(x4);
Configure the inspection:
Use the Maximum number of terms field to specify the maximum number of terms allowed in a boolean expression.
Use the Ignore pure conjunctions and disjunctions option to ignore boolean expressions which use only a single boolean operator repeatedly.
Inspection options
Option | Type | Default |
