This is a dupe of rdar://9735877 , just adding my vote. 

Summary:

It would be useful, in code bases where due to coding style guidelines dot syntax is not allowed, to be able to specify a compiler flag to turn on a warning (which could then be combined with -Werror if desired), to warn upon use of dot syntax for Objective-C objects.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Build a project which uses dot syntax.

Expected Results:

Be able to receive warning in places where dot syntax is used.

Actual Results:

Dot syntax has to be removed completely by hand (without the aid of warnings or analyzer results) if it is desirable to remove it.

Regression:

N/A

Notes:

N/A
