CWE-563 未使用的变量

Assignment to Variable without Use

结构: Simple

Abstraction: Variant

状态: Draft

被利用可能性: unkown

基本描述

The variable's value is assigned but never used, making it a dead store.

扩展描述

After the assignment, the variable is either assigned another value or goes out of scope. It is likely that the variable is simply vestigial, but it is also possible that the unused variable points out a bug.
