InitFreeDeviceCreate rule (kmdf)

The InitFreeDeviceCreate rule specifies that a driver must call WdfDeviceInitFree instead of WdfDeviceCreate if an error occurs in one of the device object initialization methods 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 InitFreeDeviceCreate 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.
