Original Source

Reports boolean expressions with too many terms. Such expressions may be confusing and bug-prone.

Example:

cond(x1) && cond(x2) ^ cond(x3) && cond(x4);

Configure the inspection:

  • Use the Maximum number of terms field to specify the maximum number of terms allowed in a boolean expression.
  • Use the Ignore pure conjunctions and disjunctions option to ignore boolean expressions which use only a single boolean operator repeatedly.
