Usually yes, but since a static initializer is executed by at most one thread by using a locking protocol before any other static code is ever executed, the runtime _could_ (but I'm not sure it it really does) treat the volatile in the for loop as a local. But I would approve your change because it makes this more explicit. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9451
