8 //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
9 //
10 // This defines ObjCSelfInitChecker, a builtin check that checks for uses of
11 // 'self' before proper initialization.
12 //
13 //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
14 
15 // This checks initialization methods to verify that they assign 'self' to the
16 // result of an initialization call (e.g. [super init], or [self initWith..])
17 // before using 'self' or any instance variable.
18 //
19 // To perform the required checking, values are tagged wih flags that indicate
20 // 1) if the object is the one pointed to by 'self', and 2) if the object
21 // is the result of an initializer (e.g. [super init]).
22 //
23 // Uses of an object that is true for 1) but not 2) trigger a diagnostic.
24 // The uses that are currently checked are:
25 //  - Using instance variables.
26 //  - Returning the object.
27 //
28 // Note that we don't check for an invalid 'self' that is the receiver of an
29 // obj-c message expression to cut down false positives where logging functions
30 // get information from self (like its class) or doing "invalidation" on self
31 // when the initialization fails.
32 //
33 // Because the object that 'self' points to gets invalidated when a call
34 // receives a reference to 'self', the checker keeps track and passes the flags
35 // for 1) and 2) to the new object that 'self' points to after the call.
36 //
37 // FIXME (rdar://7937506): In the case of:
38 //   [super init];
39 //   return self;
40 // Have an extra PathDiagnosticPiece in the path that says "called [super init],
41 // but didn't assign the result to self."
42 
43 //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
44 
45 // FIXME: Somehow stick the link to Apple's documentation about initializing
46 // objects in the diagnostics.
