62% of this comment could be valid code. Did you maybe forget this after debugging?
Sometimes obsolete code just ends up commented out instead of removed. In this case it is better to remove the code once you have
checked you do not need it.
The code might also have been commented out for debugging purposes. In this case it is vital that
someone uncomments it again or your project may behave in very unexpected ways in production.
This check looks for comments that seem to be mostly valid code and reports them.
The call to the method Zephia\PilotApiClient\Cl...ient::getGuzzleClient() seems un-needed as the method has no side-effects.
PHP Analyzer performs a side-effects analysis of your code. A side-effect is
basically anything that might be visible after the scope of the method is left.
If we look at the getEmail() method, we can see that it has no side-effect.
Whether you call this method or not, no future calls to other methods are affected
by this. As such code as the following is useless:
$user=newUser();$user->getEmail();// This line could safely be removed as it has no effect.
On the hand, if we look at the setEmail(), this method _has_ side-effects.
In the following case, we could not remove the method call:
$user=newUser();$user->setEmail('email@domain');// This line has a side-effect (it changes an// instance variable).
Both the $myVar assignment in line 1 and the $higher assignment in line 2
are dead. The first because $myVar is never used and the second because
$higher is always overwritten for every possible time line.
