CWE-1071: Empty Code Block

ID CWE-1071
Abstraction Base
Structure Simple
Status Incomplete
The source code contains a block that does not contain any code, i.e., the block is empty.

Empty code blocks can occur in the bodies of conditionals, function or method definitions, exception handlers, etc. While an empty code block might be intentional, it might also indicate incomplete implementation, accidental code deletion, unexpected macro expansion, etc. For some programming languages and constructs, an empty block might be allowed by the syntax, but the lack of any behavior within the block might violate a convention or API in such a way that it is an error.
