/**
 * A memory-sensitive implementation of the <code>Map</code> interface.
 *
 * <p> A <code>SoftCache</code> object uses {@link java.lang.ref.SoftReference
 * soft references} to implement a memory-sensitive hash map.  If the garbage
 * collector determines at a certain point in time that a value object in a
 * <code>SoftCache</code> entry is no longer strongly reachable, then it may
 * remove that entry in order to release the memory occupied by the value
 * object.  All <code>SoftCache</code> objects are guaranteed to be completely
 * cleared before the virtual machine will throw an
 * <code>OutOfMemoryError</code>.  Because of this automatic clearing feature,
 * the behavior of this class is somewhat different from that of other
 * <code>Map</code> implementations.
 *
 * <p> Both null values and the null key are supported.  This class has the
 * same performance characteristics as the <code>HashMap</code> class, and has
 * the same efficiency parameters of <em>initial capacity</em> and <em>load
 * factor</em>.
 *
 * <p> Like most collection classes, this class is not synchronized.  A
 * synchronized <code>SoftCache</code> may be constructed using the
 * <code>Collections.synchronizedMap</code> method.
 *
 * <p> In typical usage this class will be subclassed and the <code>fill</code>
 * method will be overridden.  When the <code>get</code> method is invoked on a
 * key for which there is no mapping in the cache, it will in turn invoke the
 * <code>fill</code> method on that key in an attempt to construct a
 * corresponding value.  If the <code>fill</code> method returns such a value
 * then the cache will be updated and the new value will be returned.  Thus,
 * for example, a simple URL-content cache can be constructed as follows:
 *
 * <pre>
 *     public class URLCache extends SoftCache {
 *         protected Object fill(Object key) {
 *             return ((URL)key).getContent();
 *         }
 *     }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p> The behavior of the <code>SoftCache</code> class depends in part upon
 * the actions of the garbage collector, so several familiar (though not
 * required) <code>Map</code> invariants do not hold for this class.  <p>
 * Because entries are removed from a <code>SoftCache</code> in response to
 * dynamic advice from the garbage collector, a <code>SoftCache</code> may
 * behave as though an unknown thread is silently removing entries.  In
 * particular, even if you synchronize on a <code>SoftCache</code> instance and
 * invoke none of its mutator methods, it is possible for the <code>size</code>
 * method to return smaller values over time, for the <code>isEmpty</code>
 * method to return <code>false</code> and then <code>true</code>, for the
 * <code>containsKey</code> method to return <code>true</code> and later
 * <code>false</code> for a given key, for the <code>get</code> method to
 * return a value for a given key but later return <code>null</code>, for the
 * <code>put</code> method to return <code>null</code> and the
 * <code>remove</code> method to return <code>false</code> for a key that
 * previously appeared to be in the map, and for successive examinations of the
 * key set, the value set, and the entry set to yield successively smaller
 * numbers of elements.
 *

public class SoftCache extends AbstractMap implements Map {

    /* The basic idea of this implementation is to maintain an internal HashMap
       that maps keys to soft references whose referents are the keys' values;
       the various accessor methods dereference these soft references before
       returning values.  Because we don't have access to the innards of the
       HashMap, each soft reference must contain the key that maps to it so
       that the processQueue method can remove keys whose values have been
       discarded.  Thus the HashMap actually maps keys to instances of the
