Hi, when jigsaw started there was a lot of talk about providing alternatives to what Unsafe offers. Today I am facing a problem I cannot solve anymore it seems with this.
My problem is that I need to ensure the static block of an inner class has been executed before I do something, because the static block contains setup data the class will need and influence what I do with the class. Of course this might be not the best choice, I am just trying to keep certain functionality. In the past I would have used Unsafe#ensureClassInitialized, but this method has not found a replacement yet if I read JDK-8235521 : Replacement API for Unsafe::ensureClassInitialized correctly. Also because of Unsafe#getUnsafe, checking for the platform loader for the caller (which is not the case for me) I cannot get the unsafe object itself "properly". Now I am wondering what alternatives exist. Are there any? bye Jochen
