FP for BigInteger constructor

[frank.re...@googlemail.com]

Hi

SonarJava gives me squid:S2129

Constructors should not be used to instantiate "String", "BigInteger", "BigDecimal" and primitive-wrapper classes

for this code:

String value = ...;

new BigInteger( value );

But there is no .valueOf which takes a string, only long. And the string might have a number exceeding a long.

Hence I think this is a false positive.

Workaround for me is, to change it to:

new BigInteger( value, 10 );

Hello Frank,

Thank you for your feedback.
Yes you are right, this is indeed a case of false positive.

We created a corresponding Jira ticket, which you can find here: https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONARJAVA-2740.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
