ControlDeviceInitAPI rule (kmdf)

The ControlDeviceInitAPI rule specifies that WdfControlDeviceInitAllocate and all other device object initialization DDIs that set up a WDFDEVICE_INIT structure for the control device must be called before WdfDeviceCreate for the control device.

Driver model: KMDF

How to test

At compile time
Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the ControlDeviceInitAPI rule. Use the following steps to run an analysis of your code: Prepare your code (use role type declarations). Run Static Driver Verifier. View and analyze the results. For more information, see Using Static Driver Verifier to Find Defects in Drivers.
