Summary:
It'd be useful to have an __attribute__ annotation for methods that require their overrides to invoke super. Clang could log a warning for any overrides of the annotated method that do not do so.
Example:
// NSView.h
@interface NSView
- (void)layout __attribute__((objc_requires_super));
@end
// MyViewSubclass.m
@implementation MyViewSubclass
// Compiler warning generated for this method, since it does not message super
- (void)layout {
self.subview.frame = NSZeroRect;
}
@end
