Related result types apply Cocoa conventions to the type of message
sends and property accesses to Objective-C methods that are known to
always return objects whose type is the same as the type of the
receiving class (or a subclass thereof), such as +alloc and
-init. This tightens up static type safety for Objective-C, so that we
now diagnose mistakes like this:
t.m:4:10: warning: incompatible pointer types initializing 'NSSet *'
with an
expression of type 'NSArray *' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
NSSet *array = [[NSArray alloc] init];
^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSObject.h:72:1:
note:
instance method 'init' is assumed to return an instance of its
receiver
type ('NSArray *')
- (id)init;
^
It also means that we get decent type inference when writing code in
Objective-C++0x:
auto array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"one", @"two",nil];
// ^ now infers NSMutableArray* rather than id

conventional categories into Basic and AST. Update the self-init checker
to use this logic; CFRefCountChecker is complicated enough that I didn't
want to touch it.

the prefix should be ignored.
E.g. if ignorePrefix is true, "_init" and "init" selectors will both be result in InitRule, but if
ignorePrefix is false, only "init" will return InitRule.

to libAnalysis. Similar to Format (format string checking),
CocoaConventions has the
potential to serve clients other than the
static analyzer.
