What's going on when the assignment statement executed at Line 4
, does compiler ignore the new operator
and keep the foo
variable being null or something else happen to handle this awkward moment?
public class Foo {
// creating an instance before its constructor has been invoked, suppose the "initializing"
// gets printed in constructor as a result of the next line, of course it will not print it
private Foo foo = new Foo();//Line 4
public Foo() {
System.out.println("initializing");
}
}
