Constructor Initializer List Problem (New (to me) compiler warning)

I went to add one more initialization value to the poor overworked constructor of my bloated "shoulda planned a tad more on paper first" / "do everything" Actor class:

Code:

class Actor
{
    public:
        Actor(double x = 0.0, double y = 0.0, double z = 0.0,
              double xlb = -1000.0, double xub = 1000.0,
              double ylb = -1000.0, double yub = 1000.0,
              double zlb = -1000.0, double zub = 1000.0,
              double sz = 1.0, int tf = 5) :
            xPos(x), yPos(y), zPos(z),
            xLowerBound(xlb), xUpperBound(xub),
            yLowerBound(ylb), yUpperBound(yub),
            zLowerBound(zlb), zUpperBound(zub),
            size(sz), ThoughtFrequency(tf) {}
        virtual ~Actor() {};
...

The ThoughtFrequency(tf) at the end is what I added. Immediately I began to get this arcane (to me) compiler warning:

Code:

And in a maybe unrelated coincidence - my program began to seg-fault intermittently on execution. I don't know why it'd matter what order these private variables are initialized in, so I must be misunderstanding something.
(Additionally, in an unrelated commentary, I do plan to re-factor this all out from Class Actor into something like Entity->Camera , Entity->Actor, Actor->Player, Actor->Enemy eventually. Inheritance is newer to me. This won't always be a bloated mess.)
Please, I'm afraid and alone - the walls of my computer room are turning black and rising up around me, shutting out the sun. As always I appreciate any incite from the community here.

Your member variables will be initialised in the order of their declaration, regardless of the order you write in the initialiser list. Your compiler is just warning you of this fact, because you presumably declared size after ThoughtFrequency.

Of course lazerlight, you were right - I moved ThoughtFrequency below size in my list of private variables and the error cleared right up. I still get random seg-faults, but at least now it's clear to me it's unrelated to this error.

Thank you! And, happy Diwali day!
