/**
 * <p>
 * Detects double brace initialization.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Rationale: Double brace initialization (set of
 * <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se12/html/jls-8.html#jls-8.6">
 * Instance Initializers</a> in class body) may look cool, but it is considered as anti-pattern
 * and should be avoided.
 * This is also can lead to a hard-to-detect memory leak, if the anonymous class instance is
 * returned outside and other object(s) hold reference to it.
 * Created anonymous class is not static, it holds an implicit reference to the outer class
 * instance.
 * See this
 * <a href="https://blog.jooq.org/2014/12/08/dont-be-clever-the-double-curly-braces-anti-pattern/">
 * blog post</a> and
 * <a href="https://www.baeldung.com/java-double-brace-initialization">
 * article</a> for more details.
 * Check ignores any comments and semicolons in class body.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * To configure the check:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;AvoidDoubleBraceInitialization&quot;/&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Which results in the following violations:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * class MyClass {
 *     List&lt;Integer&gt; list1 = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;() { // violation
 *         {
 *             add(1);
 *         }
 *     };
 *     List&lt;String&gt; list2 = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;() { // violation
 *         ;
 *         // comments and semicolons are ignored
 *         {
 *             add("foo");
 *         }
 *     };
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Check only looks for double brace initialization and it ignores cases
 * where the anonymous class has fields or methods.
 * Though these might create the same memory issues as double brace,
 * the extra class members can produce side effects if changed incorrectly.
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * class MyClass {
 *     List&lt;Object&gt; list = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;() { // OK, not pure double brace pattern
 *         private int field;
 *         {
 *             add(new Object());
 *         }
 *     };
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Parent is {@code com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.TreeWalker}
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Violation Message Keys:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * {@code avoid.double.brace.init}
 * </li>
 * </ul>
