Kotlin compiler can create a new static variable INSTANCE on redefinition, that is normally initialized by <clinit>, but in case of redefinition the initializer is not called, since instances of static variables from old class must be preserved and initizelizer for a new class shoudl initialize only new variables. So it is not work for JVM level dcevm, but for high level agent. HotswapAgent solves the problem creating static method $$ha$clinit, that serves for initialization of new static varables.
