4369	function::function_base potential uninitialized data member	Steve Hawkes <steve.hawkes@…>	Douglas Gregor	"When running the Klocwork static code analysis tool on some code that uses Boost, Klocwork reported the following potential issue in Boost.Function (note that this is for boost 1_36_0, but the latest trunk code appears to have the same issue):

----

'this->functor.const_obj_ptr' is not initialized in this constructor.[[BR]]
function_base.hpp:576: 'this->functor.const_obj_ptr' is used, but is uninitialized.[[BR]]


{{{
class function_base
{
public:
  function_base() : vtable(0) { }
  ...
public: // should be protected, but GCC 2.95.3 will fail to allow access
  detail::function::vtable_base* vtable;
  mutable detail::function::function_buffer functor;
};
}}}


----

A similar error is reported for each field in the functor data member (a function_buffer union). Wouldn't it be appropriate to initialize the functor data member to a default value, as is done with the vtable data member?"
