Replacement for sun.misc.Unsafe.allocateInstance(Class<?>) ?

[Christoph Engelbert]

Hey Jörg,

It will not yet be unaccessible, you just have to force JDK 9 to export the sun.misc package to be visible to user code. There will be a command line flag for that purpose, however I agree eventually we’ll need a replacement, whatever it looks like.
