ChildDeviceInitApi rule (kmdf)

The ChildDeviceInitApi rule specifies that for a child device, the framework device object initialization methods must be called before the driver calls the WdfDeviceCreate method for the child device object.

Driver model: KMDF

How to test

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