+// A Symbol is a canonicalized string.
+// All Symbols reside in global SymbolTable and are reference counted.
+
+// Reference counting
+//
+// All Symbols are allocated and added to the SymbolTable.
+// When a class is unloaded, the reference counts of the Symbol pointers in
+// the ConstantPool and in InstanceKlass (see release_C_heap_structures) are
+// decremented.  When the reference count for a Symbol goes to 0, the garbage
+// collector can free the Symbol and remove it from the SymbolTable.
+//
+// 0) Symbols need to be reference counted when a pointer to the Symbol is
+// saved in persistent storage.  This does not include the pointer
+// in the SymbolTable bucket (the _literal field in HashtableEntry)
+// that points to the Symbol.  All other stores of a Symbol*
+// to a field of a persistent variable (e.g., the _name filed in
+// fieldDescriptor or _ptr in a CPSlot) is reference counted.
+//
+// 1) The lookup of a "name" in the SymbolTable either creates a Symbol F for
+// "name" and returns a pointer to F or finds a pre-existing Symbol F for
+// "name" and returns a pointer to it. In both cases the reference count for F
+// is incremented under the assumption that a pointer to F will be created from
+// the return value. Thus the increment of the reference count is on the lookup
+// and not on the assignment to the new Symbol*.  That is
+//    Symbol* G = lookup()
+//                ^ increment on lookup()
+// and not
+//    Symbol* G = lookup()
+//              ^ increment on assignmnet
+// The reference count must be decremented manually when the copy of the
+// pointer G is destroyed.
+//
+// 2) For a local Symbol* A that is a copy of an existing Symbol* B, the
+// reference counting is elided when the scope of B is greater than the scope
+// of A.  For example, in the code fragment
+// below "klass" is passed as a parameter to the method.  Symbol* "kn"
+// is a copy of the name in "klass".
+//
+//   Symbol*  kn = klass->name();
+//   unsigned int d_hash = dictionary()->compute_hash(kn, class_loader);
+//
+// The scope of "klass" is greater than the scope of "kn" so the reference
+// counting for "kn" is elided.
+//
+// Symbol* copied from ConstantPool entries are good candidates for reference
+// counting elision.  The ConstantPool entries for a class C exist until C is
+// unloaded.  If a Symbol* is copied out of the ConstantPool into Symbol* X,
+// the Symbol* in the ConstantPool will in general out live X so the reference
+// counting on X can be elided.
+//
+// For cases where the scope of A is not greater than the scope of B,
+// the reference counting is explicitly done.  See ciSymbol,
+// ResolutionErrorEntry and ClassVerifier for examples.
+//
+// 3) When a Symbol K is created for temporary use, generally for substrings of
+// an existing symbol or to create a new symbol, assign it to a
+// TempNewSymbol. The SymbolTable methods new_symbol(), lookup()
+// and probe() all potentially return a pointer to a new Symbol.
+// The allocation (or lookup) of K increments the reference count for K
+// and the destructor decrements the reference count.
+//
+// This cannot be inherited from ResourceObj because it cannot have a vtable.
+// Since sometimes this is allocated from Metadata, pick a base allocation
+// type without virtual functions.
