024/**
025 * <p>
026 * Checks that an overriding {@code clone()} method invokes {@code super.clone()}.
027 * Does not check native methods, as they have no possible java defined implementation.
028 * </p>
029 * <p>
030 * Reference:
031 * <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Object.html#clone%28%29">
032 * Object.clone()</a>.
033 * </p>
034 * <p>
035 * To configure the check:
036 * </p>
037 * <pre>
038 * &lt;module name=&quot;SuperClone&quot;/&gt;
039 * </pre>
040 * <p>Example:</p>
041 * <pre>
042 * class A {
043 *
044 *  public Object clone() { // OK
045 *   return super.clone();
046 *  }
047 * }
048 *
049 * class B {
050 * private int b;
051 *
052 *  public B clone() { // violation, does not call super.clone()
053 *   B other = new B();
054 *   other.b = this.b;
055 *   return other;
056 *  }
057 * }
058 *
059 * class C {
060 *
061 *  public C clone() { // OK
062 *   return (C) super.clone();
063 *  }
064 * }
065 * </pre>
066 * <p>
