__NOTOC__
=Description=
If acreation procedure is exported then it may be called by clients after the object has been created. Usually, this is not intended. A client might, for example, by accident call <e>x.make</e> instead of <e>create x.make</e>, possibly causing a class invariant or postcondition to not hold anymore.

=Example of violation=
<e>class TEST
create
	make
feature -- Initialization
	make
			-- Initialize Current
		do
		end
	update
		do
		end
end
</e>

=Recommendation=
Make sure to export the creation procedure to NONE.

In the example, add the export to NONE after the feature clause:
<e>class TEST
create
	make
feature {NONE} -- Initialization
	make
			-- Initialize Current
		do
		end
feature -- Initialization
	update
		do
		end
end
</e>
