InitFreeDeviceCallback rule (kmdf)

The InitFreeDeviceCallback rule specifies that a driver must call WdfDeviceInitFree if the driver encounters an error while it initializes a new framework device object, and if the driver received the WDFDEVICE_INIT structure from a call to WdfControlDeviceInitAllocate.

Driver model: KMDF

How to test

At compile time
Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the InitFreeDeviceCallback 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.
