Summary:
This check aims to address a relatively common benign error where
Objective-C subclass initializers call -self on their superclass instead
of invoking a superclass initializer, typically -init. The error is
typically benign because libobjc recognizes that improper initializer
chaining is common¹.
One theory for the frequency of this error might be that -init and -self
have the same return type which could potentially cause inappropriate
autocompletion to -self instead of -init. The equal selector lengths and
triviality of common initializer code probably contribute to errors like
this slipping through code review undetected.
This check aims to flag errors of this form in the interests of
correctness and reduce incidence of initialization failing to chain to
-[NSObject init].
[1] "In practice, it will be hard to rely on this function.
Many classes do not properly chain -init calls."

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
This check finds the use of methods related to OSSpinlock in Objective-C code, which should be deprecated due to livelock issues.
The following method call will be detected:
- OSSpinlockLock()
- OSSpinlockTry()
- OSSpinlockUnlcok()

Summary:
This check finds property declarations in Objective-C files that do not follow the pattern of property names in Apple's programming guide. The property name should be in the format of Lower Camel Case or with some particular acronyms as prefix.
Example:
@property(nonatomic, assign) int lowerCamelCase;
@property(nonatomic, strong) NSString *URLString;

Summary:
This is part 3 of 3 of a series of changes to improve Objective-C
linting in clang-tidy.
This adds a new clang-tidy check `objc-forbidden-subclassing` which
ensures clients do not create subclasses of Objective-C classes which
are not designed to be subclassed.
(Note that for code under your control, you should use
__attribute__((objc_subclassing_restricted)) instead -- this
is intended for third-party APIs which cannot be modified.)
By default, the following classes (which are publicly documented
as not supporting subclassing) are forbidden from subclassing:
ABNewPersonViewController
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController
ABPersonViewController
ABUnknownPersonViewController
NSHashTable
NSMapTable
NSPointerArray
NSPointerFunctions
NSTimer
UIActionSheet
UIAlertView
UIImagePickerController
UITextInputMode
UIWebView
Clients can set a CheckOption
`objc-forbidden-subclassing.ClassNames` to a semicolon-separated
list of class names, which overrides this list.

Summary:
This is part 1 of 3 of a series of changes to improve Objective-C
linting in clang-tidy.
This introduces a new clang-tidy module, `objc`, specifically for
Objective-C / Objective-C++ checks.
The module is currently empty; D39142 adds the first check.
