Default member initializer not being set C++

I have the following code:

class Foo
{
public:
  enum class MyEnum
  {
     option1,
     option2
  }
  "Some constructors"

private:
  "Some members and the following member"
  MyEnum enum_ = MyEnum::option1;
}

So basically, none of the constructors are setting the enum_ option, which is good. Because for all of them I want this value to be default set to option1. The problem is that after creating Foo object, option1 is not initialized for the enum_ value. None of option1/option2 is. The value is simply not initialized. I am wondering what I am doing wrong.

Also, I created a public function used to retrieve this enum_ value. – A. Cimet Sep 09 '21 at 11:28

There's no issue with the code you've presented. The actual constructors and their calling site would be relevant here. – Quentin Sep 09 '21 at 11:29

"None of option1/option2 is. The value is simply not initialized." What does that mean? How do you know it is not initialized? – 463035818_is_not_an_ai Sep 09 '21 at 11:42
You have not shown how you even created the object of class – Mayur Sep 09 '21 at 11:47
