Result:      main dolphin-emu-2609/Source/Core/InputCommon/ControllerInterface/evdev/evdev.cpp:169:7: warning: Member variable 'AnalogInput::m_base' has no initializer. [uninitMemberVarNoCtor]
Explanation: `AnalogInput` gets its constructors from `Input` via `using Input::Input;` and has no constructor of its own. `m_base` has no default member initializer, so the inherited constructor leaves it uninitialized. The old warning, 'has no initializer' (uninitMemberVarNoCtor), treated the class as having no constructor at all, which is not quite right. The PR removes it and reports the same issue as 'not initialized in the constructor inherited from 'Input'' at the using-declaration. That message describes the situation more accurately. The underlying finding is unchanged: subclasses assign `m_base` in their constructor bodies, but `AnalogInput` itself leaves it uninitialized. So this is a message accuracy improvement, not a lost true positive.

Result:      your dolphin-emu-2609/Externals/cpp-ipc/cpp-ipc/test/mem/test_mem_new.cpp:85:18: warning: Member variable 'Derived64K::padding_' is not initialized in the constructor inherited from 'Derived'. [uninitMemberVar]
Explanation: `Derived64K` inherits `Derived(int)` through `using Derived::Derived;` and declares no constructors of its own. The inherited constructor only runs the base constructor. `padding_` (`std::array<char, 65536>`) has no default member initializer, and `std::array` is an aggregate with no constructor, so `padding_` is default-initialized and its contents are indeterminate. The new warning is therefore factually correct. The member is padding and is probably meant to stay uninitialized, but users can suppress that. Main did not report it at all, so this adds a true positive.

Result:      your dolphin-emu-2609/Source/Core/InputCommon/ControllerInterface/evdev/evdev.cpp:157:16: warning: Member variable 'AnalogInput::m_base' is not initialized in the constructor inherited from 'Input'. [uninitMemberVar]
Explanation: `AnalogInput` declares no constructor of its own and only inherits `Input`'s constructors via `using Input::Input;`. Those inherited constructors leave `m_base` uninitialized. Main already warned about the same member, but with the 'has no initializer' message, as if the class had no constructors at all. The PR moves the warning to the `using` line and says the member is not initialized in the constructor inherited from 'Input', which describes the situation more accurately. Derived classes (`Axis`) assign `m_base` in their constructor bodies, so the practical impact is debatable, but that applies to the old and new warning alike. The net effect is the same finding with a clearer message.
