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.
