java中的softreference_Java中的SoftReference，WeakReference和PhantomReference

SoftReference，WeakReference和PhantomReference都是继承自Reference抽象类，

在这个类中有一个static代码块，会给当前线程组和它的所有父亲都启动一个线程叫做ReferenceHandler，

ReferenceHandler会随时来检查是否有pending中是否有GC加入的已经清除的对象，然后将它们加入到Reference对于的ReferenceQueue中。

/* High-priority thread to enqueue pending References

*/

private static class ReferenceHandler extends Thread {

ReferenceHandler(ThreadGroup g, String name) {

super(g, name);

}

public void run() {

for (;;) {

Reference r;

synchronized (lock) {

if (pending != null) {

r = pending;

Reference rn = r.next;

pending = (rn == r) ? null : rn;

r.next = r;

} else {

try {

lock.wait();

} catch (InterruptedException x) { }

continue;

}

}

// Fast path for cleaners

if (r instanceof Cleaner) {

((Cleaner)r).clean();

continue;

}

ReferenceQueue q = r.queue;

if (q != ReferenceQueue.NULL) q.enqueue(r);

}

}

}

static {

ThreadGroup tg = Thread.currentThread().getThreadGroup();

for (ThreadGroup tgn = tg;

tgn != null;

tg = tgn, tgn = tg.getParent());

Thread handler = new ReferenceHandler(tg, "Reference Handler");

/* If there were a special system-only priority greater than

* MAX_PRIORITY, it would be used here

*/

handler.setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);

handler.setDaemon(true);

handler.start();

}
