| 6 | * Invoke all remaining finalizers that haven't yet been run. | 
|---|
| 7 | * This is needed for strict compliance with the Java standard, | 
|---|
| 8 | * which can make the runtime guarantee that all finalizers are run. | 
|---|
| 9 | * This is problematic for several reasons: | 
|---|
| 10 | * 1) It means that finalizers, and all methods calle by them, | 
|---|
| 11 | *    must be prepared to deal with objects that have been finalized in | 
|---|
| 12 | *    spite of the fact that they are still referenced by statically | 
|---|
| 13 | *    allocated pointer variables. | 
|---|
| 14 | * 1) It may mean that we get stuck in an infinite loop running | 
|---|
| 15 | *    finalizers which create new finalizable objects, though that's | 
|---|
| 16 | *    probably unlikely. | 
|---|
| 17 | * Thus this is not recommended for general use. |
