Thanks for the comment! It's not clear to me how you suggest proceeding though.
I think it would be great to have a warning about "copy constructors that don't
copy", which I would expect to warn regardless of whether the default
initialization is explicit, e.g.
MyClass( const MyClass& other) : BaseClass() {...}`
or implicit, e.g.
MyClass( const MyClass& other) {...}
An intelligent "copy constructors that don't copy" warning might even examine
the `{...}` to see what's being handled there.
Unfortunately currently we have two tools each of which warns in one case but
not the other:
- `gcc -Wextra` warns only in the latter case, and can be fixed by changing
each occurrence to the former.
- clang-tidy's current `readability-redundant-member-init` check warns only in
the former case, and fixes it by changing each occurrence to the latter.
- (Also clang-tidy's warning about `: BaseClass()` being redundant isn't a
very clear warning about copy constructor that don't copy.)
This patch just offers an option to make peace between the two tools.
