ThreadLocalSetWithNull

Reports java.lang.ThreadLocal.set() with null as an argument.

This call does not free the resources, and it may cause a memory leak.

It may happen because:

• Firstly, ThreadLocal.set(null) finds a map associated with the current Thread. If there is no such a map, it will be created
• It sets key and value: map.set(this, value), where this refers to instance of ThreadLocal

java.lang.ThreadLocal.remove() should be used to free the resources.

Example:

ThreadLocal<Integer> threadLocal = new ThreadLocal<>();
  threadLocal.set(null);

After the quick-fix is applied:

threadLocal.remove();
