Swift error using initialized properties in expressions before super.init

Question

This isn\'t critical, and there are workarounds, but it is perplexing.

See the minimal example below. I\'m referring to an initialized property, but before callin

Answer 1

I think it is intended behavior and part of the two phase initialization.

This is a result of the following rules:

• All properties must be initialized before super.init is called, that is at the same line as the declaration or in init before super.init
• An initializer may not call any instance methods, read the values of any instance properties, or refer to self as a value until after the first phase of initialization is complete
