Does Java compiler eliminate function calls from getters?

Question

Can I be sure that

private int value;
public int getValue() { return value; }

is compiled by compiler in the same way as

public int Value;

in the terms of number of instructions and execution time? I mean do modern compilers trying to make functions "inline" (c++ term)?

Answer 1

No; the Java compiler will not change that.

However, the JITter probably will.
