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: 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.
