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 |
||
| 10 | trait LazyLoaderTrait |
||
| 11 | { |
||
| 12 | /** |
||
| 13 | * Hydrate lazy loads delegate into given Collectionnable, if enabled and if |
||
| 14 | * entity supports it. |
||
| 15 | * |
||
| 16 | * @param LazyPropertiesInterface $object (not hinted to help notation and custom exception) |
||
|
|
|||
| 17 | * |
||
| 18 | * @return LazyPropertiesInterface |
||
| 19 | */ |
||
| 20 | private function loadDelegates($entity) |
||
| 56 | } |
||
| 57 |
This check looks for PHPDoc comments describing methods or function parameters that do not exist on the corresponding method or function.
Consider the following example. The parameter
$italyis not defined by the methodfinale(...).The most likely cause is that the parameter was removed, but the annotation was not.
