non_ nullable_ equals_ parameter
The parameter type of '==' operators should be non-nullable.
Description
#
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when an override of the operator
== has a parameter whose type is nullable. The language spec makes it
impossible for the argument of the method to be null, and the
parameter's type should reflect that.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because the implementation of
the operator == in C :
class C {
@override
bool operator ==(Object? other) => false;
}
Common fixes
#Make the parameter type be non-nullable:
class C {
@override
bool operator ==(Object other) => false;
}
