You can't. When using a void initializer the actual value is
garbage until initialized properly, and that garbage can look
like anything including a valid instance.
So if the flow of your program can't guarantee that the value has
been initialized at a certain point, you'll have to track it
yourself some way. Nullable may be of help:
