[VS2005] class variable members marked as initonly

[marco_segurini]

Hi,

The following C++ managed console application compile with no errors
or warning even if the readonly class members are not explicitly
initialized.

Is there any way to force the compiler to inform me that the readonly
class members are not explicitly initialized?

If I translate this program to C# using 'readonly' instead of
'initonly' the compiler returns me a warning for each readonly member
that is not expliciply inizialized.

TIA.
Marco.

initonly int i_;
initonly Hello^ h_;
};

int _tmain()
{
TestInitOnly^ init = gcnew TestInitOnly();
}

AFAIK, there's not such a warning currently implemented, and the compiler
will initialize the field to the default value (0/nullptr). You might want
to post a feature request on the msdn feedback center for this!
