NRE from an "uninitialized this" in constructor

However if you call a method and that method gets overridden in a subclass you can’t really figure out if an access is safe or not.

Class Foo cannot be subclassed as it isn’t open, so I don’t think your explanation applies to this case.

Here’s a modified version of that class, in which the NPE still happens:

private class Foo {
    private val c: String
    init {
        bar()
        c = ""
    }
    private inline fun bar() = c.length
}
