The VM and Java use the same logic for the value of isIdentity(). It is computed from as many a 5 fields/flags. At present, it has to be computed on each call to Class.isIdentity(). It would be reasonable to compute the value once in the constructor, but the code in the constructor is not run. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26517#discussion_r2243785633
