为什么我在使用 Boost UUID 时会收到来自 Valgrind 的未初始化值警告？答案

【问题描述】：

我有一个有成员的班级：

std::string mName;
boost::uuids::uuid mId;

在我写的构造函数中：

mName = boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(mId);

Valgrind 写道：

会是什么？

【问题讨论】：

这不是内存泄漏，而是使用了未初始化的内存。标题具有误导性。

【解决方案1】：

boost::uuids::uuid 是一种 POD 类型，因此 default-initializing uuid 对象实际上会使其未初始化。

确保您在构造函数的初始化列表中值初始化 uuid 对象：

class MyType
{
    std::string mName;
    boost::uuids::uuid mId;

public:
    MyType()
      : mName(), // not technically necessary since std::string has a
                 // non-trivial default constructor, but good for consistency
        mId() // necessary in order to actually initialize mId, remains
              // uninitialized otherwise
    {
        mName = boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(mId);
    }
};

或者更好的是，通过重新排序您的数据成员声明：

class MyType
{
    boost::uuids::uuid mId;
    std::string mName;

public:
    MyType()
      : mId(), // value-initialize mId
        mName(boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(mId)) // avoid unnecessary default
                                                     // construction of mName
    { }
};
