=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ClassHierarchies::ProhibitOneArgBless - Write C<bless {}, $class;> instead of just C<bless {};>.


=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Always use the two-argument form of C<bless> because it allows
subclasses to inherit your constructor.

    sub new {
        my $class = shift;
        my $self = bless {};          # not ok
        my $self = bless {}, $class;  # ok
        return $self;
    }


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
