A local class declared in a static context is not supposed to have an immediately enclosing instance (§15.9.2). That includes local classes declared in constructors prior to `super()` (during the "constructor prologue" in the new lingo).
However, the compiler is allowing code like this to successfully compile:
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.*;
public class Test extends AtomicReference<Object> {
public Test() {
super(switch (0) {
default -> {
class Local { { Test.this.hashCode(); } } // this should fail
yield null;
}
});
}
}
This patch fixes the "leak".
