Soft references are most often used - * to implement memory-sensitive caches. - * - *

Suppose that the garbage collector determines at a certain point in time - * that an object is softly - * reachable. At that time it may choose to clear atomically all soft - * references to that object and all soft references to any other - * softly-reachable objects from which that object is reachable through a chain - * of strong references. At the same time or at some later time it will - * enqueue those newly-cleared soft references that are registered with - * reference queues. - * - *

All soft references to softly-reachable objects are guaranteed to have - * been cleared before the virtual machine throws an - * OutOfMemoryError. Otherwise no constraints are placed upon the - * time at which a soft reference will be cleared or the order in which a set - * of such references to different objects will be cleared. Virtual machine - * implementations are, however, encouraged to bias against clearing - * recently-created or recently-used soft references. - * - *

Direct instances of this class may be used to implement simple caches; - * this class or derived subclasses may also be used in larger data structures - * to implement more sophisticated caches. As long as the referent of a soft - * reference is strongly reachable, that is, is actually in use, the soft - * reference will not be cleared. Thus a sophisticated cache can, for example, - * prevent its most recently used entries from being discarded by keeping - * strong referents to those entries, leaving the remaining entries to be - * discarded at the discretion of the garbage collector. - * - * @author Mark Reinhold - * @since 1.2 - */ - -public class SoftReference extends Reference { - - /** - * Timestamp clock, updated by the garbage collector - */ - static private long clock; - - /** - * Timestamp updated by each invocation of the get method.
