Mutants in code that is called only by static initializers are often impossible to kill. The code is only executed once, so mutations to this code are only visible if pitest happens to have launched a JVM just before the mutant is inserted. Pitest therefore detects these areas of code and avoids inserting mutants into them.
Previously, pitest did not properly follow invoke dynamic calls when detecting code called from static initializers. This resulted in mutants nor being supressed.
