9 // This defines ObjCSelfInitChecker, a builtin check that checks for uses of
10 // 'self' before proper initialization.
12 //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
14 // This checks initialization methods to verify that they assign 'self' to the
15 // result of an initialization call (e.g. [super init], or [self initWith..])
16 // before using 'self' or any instance variable.
18 // To perform the required checking, values are tagged with flags that indicate
19 // 1) if the object is the one pointed to by 'self', and 2) if the object
20 // is the result of an initializer (e.g. [super init]).
22 // Uses of an object that is true for 1) but not 2) trigger a diagnostic.
23 // The uses that are currently checked are:
24 // - Using instance variables.
25 // - Returning the object.
27 // Note that we don't check for an invalid 'self' that is the receiver of an
28 // obj-c message expression to cut down false positives where logging functions
29 // get information from self (like its class) or doing "invalidation" on self
30 // when the initialization fails.
32 // Because the object that 'self' points to gets invalidated when a call
33 // receives a reference to 'self', the checker keeps track and passes the flags
34 // for 1) and 2) to the new object that 'self' points to after the call.
