DeviceInitAllocate rule (kmdf)

  • Article

The DeviceInitAllocate rule specifies that, for a PDO device or a control device object, the framework device object initialization methods WdfPdoInitAllocate or WdfControlDeviceInitAllocate must be called before the driver calls WdfDeviceCreate.

Driver model: KMDF

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the DeviceInitAllocate rule.

Use the following steps to run an analysis of your code:
  1. Prepare your code (use role type declarations).
  2. Run Static Driver Verifier.
  3. View and analyze the results.
