This check compares calls to functions or methods with their respective definitions.
If the call has more arguments than are defined, it raises an issue.
If a function is defined several times with a different number of parameters, the
check may pick up the wrong definition and report false positives. One codebase
where this has been known to happen is Wordpress. Please note the @ignore annotation hint above.
This check looks for function or method calls that always return null and whose return value is assigned to a variable.
The method
getObject()
can return nothing but null, so it makes no sense to assign that value to a variable.The reason is most likely that a function or method is imcomplete or has been reduced for debug purposes.
