RNU.THIS

An RNU.THIS error indicates comparing 'this' with null, but this cannot be null.

Mitigation and prevention

Remove redundant check.

Example 1

12     public void doSomethingStrange() {
13         if (this == null) {
14             System.err.println("this == null!");
15         }
16     }

RNU.THIS will be reported at line 13.
