Severity/Certainty

Medium/Medium

Full description

Data members are initialized with other data members that are in the same initialization list. This can cause confusion, and might produce incorrect output, because data members are initialized in order of their declaration and not in the order of the initialization list.

Coding standards

Code examples

The following code example fails the check and will give a warning:

class C{
  int x;
  int y;
  C():
    x(5),
    y(x)  //Initializing using another member
  {}
};

The following code example passes the check and will not give a warning about this issue:

class C{
  int x;
  int y;
  C():
    x(5),
    y(5)  //OK
  {}
};
