Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Non-private field accessed in synchronized context

Reports non-final, non-private fields which are accessed in a synchronized context.

A non-private field cannot be guaranteed to always be accessed in a synchronized manner, and such "partially synchronized" access may result in unexpectedly inconsistent data structures. Accesses in constructors an initializers are ignored for purposes of this inspection.
