Show lint warning when a late marked field is final and initialized when declaring.

[dark-chocolate]

In the following example, you can see the class members a and b are both initialized at the time of declaration. There's no benefit of marking them late as it is redundant. Can we show a lint warning here?

class Foo {
  late final int a = 0; // late is redundant
  late final int b = getB(); // late is redundant
  int getB() => 1;
}

That sounds like a question for analyzer

or linter

@dark-chocolate late final are lazy initialized unlike final. For instance try the following code in dartpad:

class A {
  late final String a = (){print('init a'); return 'a';}();
  final String b = (){print('init b'); return 'b';}();
}

main() {
  A()..a..b;
}

@davidmorgan I'm so sorry for the wrong thread.

@a14n Right sir, I forgot the lazy initialization usage of it.
