If you move the code from the original static initializer into a static method that it called from initializer then it might provide you with a cleaner way to refactor this. There are several other places in this patch that could do with similar cleanup.

Why not simply declare a local variable in the static initializer below?


    private static final long CURRENT_PID;
    private static final boolean ALLOW_ATTACH_SELF;
    static {
        PrivilegedAction<ProcessHandle> pa = ProcessHandle::current;
        @SuppressWarnings("removal")
        long pid = AccessController.doPrivileged(pa).pid();
        CURRENT_PID = pid;
        String s = VM.getSavedProperty("jdk.attach.allowAttachSelf");
        ALLOW_ATTACH_SELF = "".equals(s) || Boolean.parseBoolean(s);
    }
