Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:
1 | <?php |
||
8 | class DateTime extends Property |
||
9 | { |
||
10 | /** |
||
11 | * {@inheritdoc} |
||
12 | * @throws \RuntimeException |
||
13 | */ |
||
14 | 21 | public function validateConfig($name, &$value) |
|
39 | |||
40 | /** |
||
41 | * {@inheritdoc} |
||
42 | * @throws \RuntimeException |
||
43 | */ |
||
44 | 21 | protected function normalize(&$value) |
|
79 | |||
80 | /** |
||
81 | * {@inheritdoc} |
||
82 | */ |
||
83 | 1 | protected function initConfig() |
|
90 | } |
||
91 |
The break statement is not necessary if it is preceded for example by a return statement:
If you would like to keep this construct to be consistent with other case statements, you can safely mark this issue as a false-positive.
