/**
 * A reference queue with an associated background thread that dequeues references and invokes
 * {@link FinalizableReference#finalizeReferent()} on them.
 *
 * 
Keep a strong reference to this object until all of the associated referents have been
 * finalized. If this object is garbage collected earlier, the backing thread will not invoke {@code
 * finalizeReferent()} on the remaining references.
 *
 * 
As an example of how this is used, imagine you have a class {@code MyServer} that creates a
 * {@link java.net.ServerSocket ServerSocket}, and you would like to ensure that the {@code
 * ServerSocket} is closed even if the {@code MyServer} object is garbage-collected without calling
 * its {@code close} method. You could use a finalizer to accomplish this, but that has a
 * number of well-known problems. Here is how you might use this class instead:
 *
 * 
{@code
 * public class MyServer implements Closeable {
 *   private static final FinalizableReferenceQueue frq = new FinalizableReferenceQueue();
 *   // You might also share this between several objects.
 *
 *   private static final Set> references = Sets.newConcurrentHashSet();
 *   // This ensures that the FinalizablePhantomReference itself is not garbage-collected.
 *
 *   private final ServerSocket serverSocket;
 *
 *   private MyServer(...) {
 *     ...
 *     this.serverSocket = new ServerSocket(...);
 *     ...
 *   }
 *
 *   public static MyServer create(...) {
 *     MyServer myServer = new MyServer(...);
 *     final ServerSocket serverSocket = myServer.serverSocket;
 *     Reference reference = new FinalizablePhantomReference(myServer, frq) {
 *       public void finalizeReferent() {
 *         references.remove(this):
 *         if (!serverSocket.isClosed()) {
 *           ...log a message about how nobody called close()...
 *           try {
 *             serverSocket.close();
 *           } catch (IOException e) {
 *             ...
 *           }
 *         }
 *       }
 *     };
 *     references.add(reference);
 *     return myServer;
 *   }
 *
 *   public void close() {
 *     serverSocket.close();
 *   }
 * }
 * }

public class FinalizableReferenceQueue implements Closeable {
  /*
   * The Finalizer thread keeps a phantom reference to this object. When the client (for example, a
   * map built by MapMaker) no longer has a strong reference to this object, the garbage collector
   * will reclaim it and enqueue the phantom reference. The enqueued reference will trigger the
   * Finalizer to stop.
   *
   * If this library is loaded in the system class loader, FinalizableReferenceQueue can load
   * Finalizer directly with no problems.
   *
   * If this library is loaded in an application class loader, it's important that Finalizer not
   * have a strong reference back to the class loader. Otherwise, you could have a graph like this:
   *
   * Finalizer Thread runs instance of -> Finalizer.class loaded by -> Application class loader
   * which loaded -> ReferenceMap.class which has a static -> FinalizableReferenceQueue instance
   *
   * Even if no other references to classes from the application class loader remain, the Finalizer
   * thread keeps an indirect strong reference to the queue in ReferenceMap, which keeps the
   * Finalizer running, and as a result, the application class loader can never be reclaimed.
   *
   * This means that dynamically loaded web applications and OSGi bundles can't be unloaded.
   *
   * If the library is loaded in an application class loader, we try to break the cycle by loading
   * Finalizer in its own independent class loader:
   *
   * System class loader -> Application class loader -> ReferenceMap -> FinalizableReferenceQueue ->
   * etc. -> Decoupled class loader -> Finalizer
   *
   * Now, Finalizer no longer keeps an indirect strong reference to the static
   * FinalizableReferenceQueue field in ReferenceMap. The application class loader can be reclaimed
   * at which point the Finalizer thread will stop and its decoupled class loader can also be
   * reclaimed.
   *
   * If any of this fails along the way, we fall back to loading Finalizer directly in the
   * application class loader.
   *
   * NOTE: The tests for this behavior (FinalizableReferenceQueueClassLoaderUnloadingTest) fail
   * strangely when run in JDK 9. We are considering this a known issue. Please see
   * https://github.com/google/guava/issues/3086 for more information.
