/**
 * Testing utilities relating to garbage collection finalization.
 *
 * <p>Use this class to test code triggered by <em>finalization</em>, that is, one of the
 * following actions taken by the java garbage collection system:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>invoking the {@code finalize} methods of unreachable objects
 * <li>clearing weak references to unreachable referents
 * <li>enqueuing weak references to unreachable referents in their reference queue
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>This class uses (possibly repeated) invocations of {@link java.lang.System#gc()} to cause
 * finalization to happen.  However, a call to {@code System.gc()} is specified to be no more
 * than a hint, so this technique may fail at the whim of the JDK implementation, for example if
 * a user specified the JVM flag {@code -XX:+DisableExplicitGC}.  But in practice, it works very
 * well for ordinary tests.
 *
 * <p>Failure of the expected event to occur within an implementation-defined "reasonable" time
 * period or an interrupt while waiting for the expected event will result in a {@link
 * RuntimeException}.
 *
 * <p>Here's an example that tests a {@code finalize} method:
 *
 * <pre>   {@code
 *   final CountDownLatch latch = new CountDownLatch(1);
 *   Object x = new MyClass() {
 *     ...
 *     protected void finalize() { latch.countDown(); ... }
 *   };
 *   x = null;  // Hint to the JIT that x is unreachable
 *   GcFinalization.await(latch);
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p>Here's an example that uses a user-defined finalization predicate:
 *
 * <pre>   {@code
 *   final WeakHashMap<Object, Object> map = new WeakHashMap<Object, Object>();
 *   map.put(new Object(), Boolean.TRUE);
 *   GcFinalization.awaitDone(new FinalizationPredicate() {
 *     public boolean isDone() {
 *       return map.isEmpty();
 *     }
 *   });
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p>This class cannot currently be used to test soft references, since this class does not try to
 * create the memory pressure required to cause soft references to be cleared.
 *
 * <p>This class only provides testing utilities.  It is not designed for direct use in production
 * or for benchmarking.
