Final reference processing

The processing of objects that require finalization is more straightforward.

  1. The list of objects is processed. Any element that is not marked is processed by:

    1. Marking and tracing the object
    2. Creating an entry on the finalizable object list for the object

  2. The GC removes the element from the unfinalized object list.
  3. The final method for the object is run at an undetermined point in the future by the reference handler thread.
