/* A Reference instance is in one of four possible internal states:
*
* Active: Subject to special treatment by the garbage collector. Some
* time after the collector detects that the reachability of the
* referent has changed to the appropriate state, it changes the
* instance's state to either Pending or Inactive, depending upon
* whether or not the instance was registered with a queue when it was
* created. In the former case it also adds the instance to the
* pending-Reference list. Newly-created instances are Active.
*
* Pending: An element of the pending-Reference list, waiting to be
* enqueued by the Reference-handler thread. Unregistered instances
* are never in this state.
*
* Enqueued: An element of the queue with which the instance was
* registered when it was created. When an instance is removed from
* its ReferenceQueue, it is made Inactive. Unregistered instances are
* never in this state.
*
* Inactive: Nothing more to do. Once an instance becomes Inactive its
* state will never change again.
*
* The state is encoded in the queue and next fields as follows:
*
* Active: queue = ReferenceQueue with which instance is registered, or
* ReferenceQueue.NULL if it was not registered with a queue; next =
* null.
*
* Pending: queue = ReferenceQueue with which instance is registered;
* next = this
*
* Enqueued: queue = ReferenceQueue.ENQUEUED; next = Following instance
* in queue, or this if at end of list.
*
* Inactive: queue = ReferenceQueue.NULL; next = this.
*
* With this scheme the collector need only examine the next field in order
* to determine whether a Reference instance requires special treatment: If
* the next field is null then the instance is active; if it is non-null,
* then the collector should treat the instance normally.
*
* To ensure that a concurrent collector can discover active Reference
* objects without interfering with application threads that may apply
* the enqueue() method to those objects, collectors should link
* discovered objects through the discovered field. The discovered
* field is also used for linking Reference objects in the pending list.
