Hi,
In Objective-C, I've often attributed initializer from super classes as
unavailable. Like this;
@class Dependency;
@interface SomeClass : NSObject
- (nullable instancetype)init __unavailable;
- (nonnull instancetype)initWithDependency:(nonnull Dependency *)dependency;
@end
This makes the compiler complain if I try to instantiate [[SomeClass alloc]
init];
However, If I declare a Swift class like this:
class SomeClass: NSObject {
init(dependency: Dependency) {
super.init()
}
}
The generated header file will look like this:
@interface SomeClass : NSObject
- (nonnull instancetype)initWithDependency:(Dependency * _Nonnull)dependency
OBJC_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER;
@end
If I try to use init, it will be a run time error, and not a compile time
error.
It there any way I can make Swift create the desired objc header file?

This is even worse if I want to create a singleton, and ensure that the
only way to access it, is through a static let on the class:
class Singleton: NSObject {
static let instance = Singleton()
private override init() {
super.init()
}
}
In Swift, I can't instantiate this class, since it has no internal/public
initializers. However, since it inherits from NSObject (which is necessary
to access it from objc), I can initialize it from objc, even though it's
private. Annotating it with @nonobjc doesn't help either.
Is there a reason why Swift doesn't automatically declare accessors from
the super class, that are either private or @nonobjc in the Swift subclass
implementation, as __unavailable?
Is there anyway I can enforce it using some (combination of) attributes?
sv.

Seems reasonable to me. It looks like SR-746 <Issues · apple/swift-issues · GitHub; tracks the same thing. Patches welcome!
