193      * Section 12.6 17 of <cite>The Java&trade; Language Specification</cite></a>)
194      * that are implemented in ways that rely on ordering control for correctness.
195      *
196      * @apiNote
197      * Finalization may occur whenever the virtual machine detects that no
198      * reference to an object will ever be stored in the heap: The garbage
199      * collector may reclaim an object even if the fields of that object are
200      * still in use, so long as the object has otherwise become unreachable.
201      * This may have surprising and undesirable effects in cases such as the
202      * following example in which the bookkeeping associated with a class is
203      * managed through array indices.  Here, method {@code action} uses a
204      * {@code reachabilityFence} to ensure that the {@code Resource} object is
205      * not reclaimed before bookkeeping on an associated
206      * {@code ExternalResource} has been performed; in particular here, to
207      * ensure that the array slot holding the {@code ExternalResource} is not
208      * nulled out in method {@link Object#finalize}, which may otherwise run
209      * concurrently.
210      *
211      * <pre> {@code
212      * class Resource {
213      *   private static ExternalResource[] externalResourceArray = ...
214      *
215      *   int myIndex;

238      *
239      * Here, the invocation of {@code reachabilityFence} is nonintuitively
240      * placed <em>after</em> the call to {@code update}, to ensure that the
241      * array slot is not nulled out by {@link Object#finalize} before the
242      * update, even if the call to {@code action} was the last use of this
243      * object.  This might be the case if, for example a usage in a user program
244      * had the form {@code new Resource().action();} which retains no other
245      * reference to this {@code Resource}.  While probably overkill here,
246      * {@code reachabilityFence} is placed in a {@code finally} block to ensure
247      * that it is invoked across all paths in the method.  In a method with more
248      * complex control paths, you might need further precautions to ensure that
249      * {@code reachabilityFence} is encountered along all of them.
250      *
251      * <p> It is sometimes possible to better encapsulate use of
252      * {@code reachabilityFence}.  Continuing the above example, if it were
253      * acceptable for the call to method {@code update} to proceed even if the
254      * finalizer had already executed (nulling out slot), then you could
255      * localize use of {@code reachabilityFence}:
256      *
257      * <pre> {@code
258      * public void action2() {
259      *   // ...
260      *   Resource.update(getExternalResource());
261      * }
262      * private ExternalResource getExternalResource() {
263      *   ExternalResource ext = externalResourceArray[myIndex];
264      *   Reference.reachabilityFence(this);
265      *   return ext;
266      * }}</pre>
267      *
268      * <p> Method {@code reachabilityFence} is not required in constructions
269      * that themselves ensure reachability.  For example, because objects that
270      * are locked cannot, in general, be reclaimed, it would suffice if all
271      * accesses of the object, in all methods of class {@code Resource}
272      * (including {@code finalize}) were enclosed in {@code synchronized (this)}
273      * blocks.  (Further, such blocks must not include infinite loops, or
274      * themselves be unreachable, which fall into the corner case exceptions to
275      * the "in general" disclaimer.)  However, method {@code reachabilityFence}
276      * remains a better option in cases where this approach is not as efficient,
277      * desirable, or possible; for example because it would encounter deadlock.
278      *
