I know this is taking your comment out of context, but wouldn't such a
restriction kill some optimizations? For example (warning - contrived
example) are you saying that in:
class Foo {
final int i;
static Foo f;
public Foo () {
Foo g;
g = this;
i = 2;
f = g;
}
}
Compilers can't transform that to:
public Foo() {
f = this;
i = 2;
}
because the original code has to be safe? Processors can't execute those
instructions out of order, either?
