[analyzer] UndefinedAssignment: Fix warning message on implicit copy/move constructors.
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

When a class forgets to initialize a field in the constructor, and then gets copied around, a warning is emitted that the value assigned to a specific field is undefined. When the copy/move constructor is implicit (not written out in the code) but not trivial (is not a trivial memory copy, eg. because members have an explicit copy constructor), the body of such constructor is auto-generated in the AST. In this case the checker's warning message is squeezed at the top of the class declaration, and it gets hard to guess which field is at fault.

Fix the warning message to include the name of the field.

Such warnings have become fairly popular in our temporary constructor evaluation.

This warning should probably be extended to the trivial copy case, but that's a separate story.

SmallString<128>?

May be it is better to print qualified name? Just name of member can be misleading if base classes have members with same names.

Use SmallString.

Add some test for base-class implicit constructors to see how it currently works (not ideal but good enough).

*recalls how it's done* Ok!

I don't think this can happen in an implicit constructor. We'd jump to the base-class constructor in this case.

LGTM. I have a suggestion for a slight modification of the diagnostic text inline.

I think it would be good to mention that this assignment is happening in an implicit constructor, since that is probably not obvious to most users.

How about: "Value assigned to field 'y' in implicit constructor is garbage or undefined".

Mention the implicit constructor in the warning message.
