    /* A Reference instance is in one of four possible internal states:

     *

     *     Active: Subject to special treatment by the garbage collector.  Some

     *     time after the collector detects that the reachability of the

     *     referent has changed to the appropriate state, it changes the

     *     instance's state to either Pending or Inactive, depending upon

     *     whether or not the instance was registered with a queue when it was

     *     created.  In the former case it also adds the instance to the

     *     pending-Reference list.  Newly-created instances are Active.

     *

     *     Pending: An element of the pending-Reference list, waiting to be

     *     enqueued by the Reference-handler thread.  Unregistered instances

     *     are never in this state.

     *

     *     Enqueued: An element of the queue with which the instance was

     *     registered when it was created.  When an instance is removed from

     *     its ReferenceQueue, it is made Inactive.  Unregistered instances are

     *     never in this state.

     *

     *     Inactive: Nothing more to do.  Once an instance becomes Inactive its

     *     state will never change again.

     *

     * The state is encoded in the queue and next fields as follows:

     *

     *     Active: queue = ReferenceQueue with which instance is registered, or

     *     ReferenceQueue.NULL if it was not registered with a queue; next =

     *     null.

     *

     *     Pending: queue = ReferenceQueue with which instance is registered;

     *     next = this

     *

     *     Enqueued: queue = ReferenceQueue.ENQUEUED; next = Following instance

     *     in queue, or this if at end of list.

     *

     *     Inactive: queue = ReferenceQueue.NULL; next = this.

     *

     * With this scheme the collector need only examine the next field in order

     * to determine whether a Reference instance requires special treatment: If

     * the next field is null then the instance is active; if it is non-null,

     * then the collector should treat the instance normally.

     *

     * To ensure that a concurrent collector can discover active Reference

     * objects without interfering with application threads that may apply

     * the enqueue() method to those objects, collectors should link

     * discovered objects through the discovered field. The discovered

     * field is also used for linking Reference objects in the pending list.
