To my knowledge, there is no code requirement to do so. Theoretically, if you place the rafters onto a properly fabricated double top plate of quality 2x4s, then the assembly should be structurally sound. On the other hand however, if the rafters are located directly above the wall studs, then it's possible that there would be a lessening of the normally very slight settlement [over many, many years] of the top plate.
