unnecessary_ cast_ pattern
Unnecessary cast pattern.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a cast pattern is used on a value that is known to be of the specified type.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because the cast
as num
is
known to always succeed because the type of
z
is
int
:
void f(int x) {
if (x case var z as num) {
print(z);
}
}
Common fixes
#Remove the cast pattern:
void f(int x) {
if (x case var z) {
print(z);
}
}
