Hint : Value of increment expression is used #9103
Description
Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 28
What happened
The same hint "Value of increment expression is used" is provided whether the expression is ++iD or iD++
I would expect the iD++ hint to display something like "Value is used, then expression incremented."
The ++iD hint could read "Value of incremented expression is used"
Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component
Java Editor Hints
How to reproduce
With a Java class open, Tools > Options > Options Window, Editor Tab, Hints Tab
Language : Java
Assignment Issues : Check Value of increment/decrement expression used
private int a = 0;
private final int b = a++;
private final int c = ++a;
In the source line number column yellow hint warning, the increment tooltip is displayed for both increment and decrement.
Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
