Let's say there is the following Kotlin file example/Example.kt

package example

import kotlin.reflect.typeOf


annotation class MyAnnotation

@MyAnnotation
object ExampleObject

val type = typeOf<ExampleObject>()

with R8 android.enableR8.fullMode=false the following rules work as expected

-keep class example.ExampleKt

-if @example.MyAnnotation class ** {
   public static ** INSTANCE;
}
-keepclassmembers class <1> {
   public static <1> INSTANCE;
}

-whyareyoukeeping class example.ExampleObject {
    public static ** INSTANCE;
}

and print

example.ExampleObject example.ExampleObject.INSTANCE
|- is referenced in keep rule:
...

however, for android.enableR8.fullMode=true, the behavior starts to differ and INSTANCE field is shrunk

Nothing is keeping example.ExampleObject example.ExampleObject.INSTANCE

At the same time, it is obvious that the difference appeared in the behavior of -if because the following rules work as expected even in the full mode

-keep class example.ExampleKt

-keepclassmembers @example.MyAnnotation class ** {
   public static ** INSTANCE;
}

-whyareyoukeeping class example.ExampleObject {
    public static ** INSTANCE;
}

If this is not a bug, then I would like to know if there is any other way to achieve the same behavior as it was.
