Right now, VM doesn't constant fold loads final instance fields unless
an experimental flag -XX:+TrustFinalNonStaticFields is turned on.
The only exception is classes in java.lang.invoke/sun.invoke packages.
It can be extended to VM anonymous classes because there is no hacking
of finals going on with them:
(1) they are part of private API (sun.misc.Unsafe);
(2) they can't be serialized.
Testing: manual (verified in generated code that constant folding happens)
Thanks!
Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov
