      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 with 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.
