IntelliJ reports classes that refer to their subclasses in static initializers or static fields

[basil]

According to IntelliJ

such references can cause JVM-level deadlocks in multithreaded environment, when one thread tries to load the superclass and another thread tries to load the subclass at the same time

• Referencing subclass StaticFunction from superclass Function initializer might lead to class loading deadlock
• Referencing subclass ByDepth from superclass TreePruner initializer might lead to class loading deadlock

Hey, @basil Can you please tell me what I have to do in this?

I do not know offhand what needs to be done to solve this bug. It would require independent analysis.
