It is absolutely possible and would be a wonderful improvement. The trickiest
part comes down to synthesizing the right declaration (basically, creating what
the user should have written) so it can be presented to the user in the Fix-It
text. We actually have some code that does something similar. Try this in Xcode:
class A {
required init(x: Int, y: String) { }
}
class B : A {
init() {
super.init(x: 5, y: "hello")
}
}
and you get a Fix-It that adds the missing required initializer:
required init(x: Int, y: String) {
fatalError("init(x:y:) has not been implemented")
}
(That’s lib/Sema/TypeCheckDecl.cpp’s diagnoseMissingRequiredInitializer(),
FWIW).
