| Reports any calls to specific methods where the result of that call is ignored. |
| Both methods specified in the inspection's settings and methods annotated with |
| <b>org.jetbrains.annotations.Contract(pure=true)</b> are checked. |
| For many methods, ignoring the result is perfectly |
| legitimate, but for some methods it is almost certainly an error. Examples of methods where ignoring |
| the result of a call is likely to be an error include <b>java.io.inputStream.read()</b>, |
| which returns the number of bytes actually read, any method on |
| <b>java.lang.String </b> or <b>java.math.BigInteger</b>, |
| as all of those methods are side-effect free and thus pointless if ignored. |

| Use the panel below to enter the class names and method names of the methods you wish to check for |
| ignored returns. Class names must be specified as a simple string, while method names may be |
| specified using a standard Java regular expression. Specifying a class names implicitly specifies |
| that class and all of its subclasses. |

| Use the checkbox below to report all |
| calls to non-library methods where the result of that call is ignored |
