We don't typically make local value types const (only pointers or references); here and elsewhere in the patch.

77–78

Should this be configurable, or will users not need to control the behavior here?

For now I think there is only this handful of Foundation types commonly created only with the factory methods; I'm not sure it makes a huge amount of sense to open it for configuration at this time.

"Returns"

It is unclear whether the check ensures that the code does not use +new, or whether it finds code that does not use +new, this description can be read both ways.

Try: This check finds Objective-C code that ...

LGTM modulo the comments from @gribozavr.

That seems reasonable to me -- we can add an option later if we find we need one.

Looks good to me once the comments from other reviewers have been addressed. I added a couple suggestions as well.

If the message expression is within a macro expansion, maybe we should emit the diagnostic without the fixit?

Suggestion:
It might be good to add a test case for another root class that doesn't have -init, e.g., NSProxy.

I'm leery of emitting a warning in a case where the code may not originate from the code in question. Maybe if the macro is defined in the same source file, but I think perhaps that could be a follow-up.

I don't have commit access, so if somebody could submit them that would be wonderful!

I believe that all the feedback from @gribozavr has been addressed modulo one small nit. Once that nit has been addressed, I can land this.

I believe @gribozavr recommended "This check".

I think that it's reasonable to surface the diagnostic. If the user determines that the diagnostic is not relevant in this situation then they can suppress it. That is, I believe it's preferable to surface issues and have the user determine relevance rather than suppress diagnostics without the knowledge of the user.

(with that said, I do not consider this a hard blocker and am comfortable deferring this for future consideration)

Shouldn't you declare +[ProxyFoo new] so that you can call it on line 67?

Bah, previous changes not caught in Git commit; switching back and forth between Git/Mercurial makes for some mix-ups, I guess.

It is a little odd that "google-objc-avoid-nsobject-new" warns on +new even for classes that are not derived from NSObject. In a sense, "nsobject-new" is being used as an identifier for any class method named "new". Interestingly, renaming to the more direct "google-objc-avoid-new-class-method" is even more misleading. I have yet to think of a name that I think would actually be better.

While I think the current name is potentially misleading, I think I am okay with this name for the following reasons:
(1) I believe this will only be misleading in marginal scenarios. I believe that it will be exceedingly rare for a class method named new to exist in a class hierarchy where the root class is not NSObject.
(2) We can always amend the check to restrict it to NSObject. In the unexpected circumstance where someone does provide a legitimate use case for a class method named new in a class hierarchy where the root class is not NSObject, we can simply amend the check to restrict its enforcement to class hierarchies where the root class is NSObject.
