Redundant empty primary constructor
Reports empty primary constructors when they are implicitly available anyway.
A primary constructor is redundant and can be safely omitted when it does not have any annotations or visibility modifiers. Use the 'Remove empty primary constructor' quick-fix to clean up the code.
Examples:
class MyClassA constructor() // redundant, can be replaced with 'class MyClassA'
annotation class MyAnnotation
class MyClassB @MyAnnotation constructor() // required because of annotation
class MyClassC private constructor() // required because of visibility modifier
