31 * Testing utilities relating to garbage collection finalization.
32 *
33 * <p>Use this class to test code triggered by <em>finalization</em>, that is, one of the
34 * following actions taken by the java garbage collection system:
35 *
36 * <ul>
37 * <li>invoking the {@code finalize} methods of unreachable objects
38 * <li>clearing weak references to unreachable referents
39 * <li>enqueuing weak references to unreachable referents in their reference queue
40 * </ul>
41 *
42 * <p>This class uses (possibly repeated) invocations of {@link java.lang.System#gc()} to cause
43 * finalization to happen. However, a call to {@code System.gc()} is specified to be no more
44 * than a hint, so this technique may fail at the whim of the JDK implementation, for example if
45 * a user specified the JVM flag {@code -XX:+DisableExplicitGC}. But in practice, it works very
46 * well for ordinary tests.
47 *
48 * <p>Failure of the expected event to occur within an implementation-defined "reasonable" time
49 * period or an interrupt while waiting for the expected event will result in a {@link
50 * RuntimeException}.
51 *
52 * <p>Here's an example that tests a {@code finalize} method:
53 *
54 * <pre> {@code
55 * final CountDownLatch latch = new CountDownLatch(1);
56 * Object x = new MyClass() {
57 * ...
58 * protected void finalize() { latch.countDown(); ... }
59 * };
60 * x = null; // Hint to the JIT that x is stack-unreachable
61 * GcFinalization.await(latch);}</pre>
62 *
63 * <p>Here's an example that uses a user-defined finalization predicate:
64 *
65 * <pre> {@code
66 * final WeakHashMap<Object, Object> map = new WeakHashMap<Object, Object>();
67 * map.put(new Object(), Boolean.TRUE);
68 * GcFinalization.awaitDone(new FinalizationPredicate() {
69 * public boolean isDone() {
70 * return map.isEmpty();
71 * }
72 * });}</pre>
73 *
74 * <p>Even if your non-test code does not use finalization, you can
75 * use this class to test for leaks, by ensuring that objects are no
76 * longer strongly referenced:
77 *
78 * <pre> {@code
79 * // Helper function keeps victim stack-unreachable.
80 * private WeakReference<Foo> fooWeakRef() {
81 * Foo x = ....;
82 * WeakReference<Foo> weakRef = new WeakReference<Foo>(x);
83 * // ... use x ...
84 * x = null; // Hint to the JIT that x is stack-unreachable
85 * return weakRef;
86 * }
87 * public void testFooLeak() {
88 * GcFinalization.awaitClear(fooWeakRef());
89 * }}</pre>
90 *
91 * <p>This class cannot currently be used to test soft references, since this class does not try to
92 * create the memory pressure required to cause soft references to be cleared.
93 *
94 * <p>This class only provides testing utilities. It is not designed for direct use in production
95 * or for benchmarking.
