Overridden method called during object construction

Reports any calls to overridden methods of the current class during object construction. This happens if an object construction is inside:

A constructor
A non-static instance initializer
A non-static field initializer
clone()
readObject()
readObjectNoData()

Such calls may result in subtle bugs, as the object is not guaranteed to be initialized before the method call occurs.

Example:

abstract class Parent {
  void someMethod() { }
}

class Child extends Parent {
  Child() {
    someMethod();
  }

  @Override
  void someMethod() { }
}

This inspection shares its functionality with:

The Abstract method called during object construction inspection
The Overridable method called during object construction inspection

Only one inspection should be enabled at the same time to prevent duplicate warnings.
