|
|
* that object and all weak references to any other weakly-reachable objects
|
|
* from which that object is reachable through a chain of strong and soft
|
|
* references. At the same time it will declare all of the formerly
|
|
* weakly-reachable objects to be finalizable. At the same time or at some
|
|
* later time it will enqueue those newly-cleared weak references that are
