related to compile time error in record constructor

[Pravin Jain]

Dear sir,
In the following code, I have commented the error.
This error seems to be unnecessary, could have been a warning instead.
In the constructor of record access to instance variable before
explicit initialization, giving error, whereas same access is
available by invoking a method.

public record TestRecord(int low, int high) {
    public TestRecord {
        System.out.println(low);
//        System.out.println(this.low); // error, variable not initialized
        m1(); // but this works, why?
    }
    public void m1() {
        System.out.println(this.low);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TestRecord r1 = new TestRecord(7,12);
    }
}
