Correctly updating a static field from a non-static method is tricky to get right and could easily lead to bugs if there are multiple
class instances and/or multiple threads in play. Ideally, static fields are only updated from synchronized static
methods.
This rule raises an issue each time a static field is updated from a non-static method.
Noncompliant code example
public class MyClass {
private static int count = 0;
public void doSomething() {
//...
count++; // Noncompliant
}
}
