/**
* 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 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();
* }
* }
* }

/*
* 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.
