Research using sun.misc.Unsafe with @SupressWarnings

Unsafe probably has a method to sneakythrow, but there are three potential problems with this:

1: Is it deprecated or will some code analysis tool complain about using Unsafe?

2: Does it run on non-sun JVMs? I'm guessing no. Is it at least in the openjdk, and thus in soylatte
and friends?

3: Does it result in a call to the security manager?

There is a method: Unsafe.getUnsafe().throwException(Throwable t);

It's not deprecated, so that takes care of ﹟1.

Research still to be done:

Which alternative VMs, if any, have this class? Does it trigger a security manager of some sort?

It triggers security manager shenanigans, so, lets not go there.
