           Summary: IPA notices leak that isn't noticed in normal method
           Product: clang

example

See the attached sample which adds hex reading to NSData.

In the error case, the -initWithHexString:error: returns nil without calling
[self release], thus leaking the receiver.

But, clang-sa only warns when building the +dataWithHexString:error: cover
method:


hex-string.m:28:14: warning: Potential leak of an object stored into 'self'
    return [[[self alloc] initWithHexString:hexString error:outError]
autorelease];
             ^
1 warning generated.

It should actually warn right before the 'goto cleanup' since that is where the
leak happens. Without this, it is much harder to track down why clang-sa thinks
there is a leak.
