Prefer {} initialization over alternatives unless you have a strong reason not to.
Forgetting to initialize a member is a source of undefined behavior bugs which are often extremely hard to find.
If the member variable is not expected to change after the initialization, then mark it `const`.
```cpp
class MyClass
{
public:
MyClass(int t_value)
: m_value{t_value}
{
}
private:
const int m_value{0};
};
```
Since a const member variable cannot be assigned a new value, such a class may not have a meaningful copy assignment operator.
