They are more robust because they use phantom references, * the weakest type of reference object, thereby avoiding the nasty ordering * problems inherent to finalization. * * <p> A cleaner tracks a referent object and encapsulates a thunk of arbitrary * cleanup code. Some time after the GC detects that a cleaner's referent has * become phantom-reachable, the reference-handler thread will run the cleaner. * Cleaners may also be invoked directly; they are thread safe and ensure that * they run their thunks at most once. * * <p> Cleaners are not a replacement for finalization. They should be used * only when the cleanup code is extremely simple and straightforward. * Nontrivial cleaners are inadvisable since they risk blocking the * reference-handler thread and delaying further cleanup and finalization. * * * @author Mark Reinhold * @version %I%, %E% */ public class Cleaner extends PhantomReference { // Dummy reference queue, needed because the PhantomReference constructor // insists that we pass a queue.
