Common, popular, coding styles with a lot of inlined code instead of temporaries will have this issue:

  public Result MapResult(IntermediateType src)
  {
      return new Result
      {
          Property1 = src.Property1,
          Property2 = src.Indirection.Property,
          [...]
      };
  }

or, in C# 6

  public Result MapResult(IntermediateType src)
      => new Result
      {
          Property1 = src.Property1,
          Property2 = src.Indirection.Property,
          [...]
      };

     

if Indirection is null here (or indeed anything that can throw an NRE within the initializer), the NRE will reference the line starting with return/=>
