Since the compiler will automatically invoke the base type’s no-argument constructor, there’s no need to specify its invocation explicitly. Also,
when only a single public parameterless constructor is defined in a class, then that constructor can be removed because the compiler
would generate it automatically. Similarly, empty static constructors and empty destructors are also wasted keystrokes.
Noncompliant code example
class X
{
public X() { } // Noncompliant
static X() { } // Noncompliant
~X() { } // Noncompliant
...
}
class Y : X
{
public Y(int parameter) : base() // Noncompliant
{
/* does something with the parameter */
}
}
Compliant solution
class X
{
...
}
class Y : X
{
public Y(int parameter)
{
/* does something with the parameter */
}
}
