False warning with Delegating constructor

[wibek]

When I put a delegating constructor outside the class definition cppcheck gives a warning "Member variable is not initialized in the constructor":

class Bar
{
public:
  Bar();
  explicit Bar(int i);
  Bar(const Bar &other) = delete;
  ~Bar() {}

private:
  string *strs;
};

Bar::Bar() : Bar(100) {}       // <<---- warning: "Member variable is not initialized"
Bar::Bar(int i, bool b) : strs(nullptr) {}

When I put the delegating constructor inside the class definition everything is fine:

class Bar
{
public:
  Bar(): Bar(100) {}         // <<----- no warning
  explicit Bar(int i);
  Bar(const Bar &other) = delete;
  ~Bar() {}

private:
  string *strs;
};

Bar::Bar(int i, bool b) : strs(nullptr) {}

Using version 1.69.

Sounds like a bug (false positive). I suggest you file a bug report on http://trac.cppcheck.net/ then.

There seems to be a related ticket already: http://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/6580
