9// This defines ObjCSelfInitChecker, a builtin check that checks for uses of
10// 'self' before proper initialization.
11//
12//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
13
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.
17//
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]).
21//
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.
26//
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.
31//
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.
