/**
* Ensures that the object referenced by the given reference remains
* <a href="package-summary.html#reachability"><em>strongly reachable</em></a>,
* regardless of any prior actions of the program that might otherwise cause
* the object to become unreachable; thus, the referenced object is not
* reclaimable by garbage collection at least until after the invocation of
* this method. Invocation of this method does not itself initiate garbage
* collection or finalization.
*
* <p> This method establishes an ordering for
* <a href="package-summary.html#reachability"><em>strong reachability</em></a>
* with respect to garbage collection. It controls relations that are
* otherwise only implicit in a program -- the reachability conditions
* triggering garbage collection. This method is designed for use in
* uncommon situations of premature finalization where using
* {@code synchronized} blocks or methods, or using other synchronization
* facilities are not possible or do not provide the desired control. This
* method is applicable only when reclamation may have visible effects,
* which is possible for objects with finalizers (See
* <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se8/html/jls-12.html#jls-12.6">
* Section 12.6 17 of <cite>The Java&trade; Language Specification</cite></a>)
* that are implemented in ways that rely on ordering control for correctness.
*
* @apiNote
* Finalization may occur whenever the virtual machine detects that no
* reference to an object will ever be stored in the heap: The garbage
* collector may reclaim an object even if the fields of that object are
* still in use, so long as the object has otherwise become unreachable.
* This may have surprising and undesirable effects in cases such as the
* following example in which the bookkeeping associated with a class is
* managed through array indices. Here, method {@code action} uses a
* {@code reachabilityFence} to ensure that the {@code Resource} object is
* not reclaimed before bookkeeping on an associated
* {@code ExternalResource} has been performed; in particular here, to
* ensure that the array slot holding the {@code ExternalResource} is not
* nulled out in method {@link Object#finalize}, which may otherwise run
* concurrently.
*
* <pre> {@code
* class Resource {
* private static ExternalResource[] externalResourceArray = ...
*
* int myIndex;
* Resource(...) {
* myIndex = ...
* externalResourceArray[myIndex] = ...;
* ...
* }
* protected void finalize() {
* externalResourceArray[myIndex] = null;
* ...
* }
* public void action() {
* try {
* // ...
* int i = myIndex;
* Resource.update(externalResourceArray[i]);
* } finally {
* Reference.reachabilityFence(this);
* }
* }
* private static void update(ExternalResource ext) {
* ext.status = ...;
* }
* }}</pre>
*
* Here, the invocation of {@code reachabilityFence} is nonintuitively
* placed <em>after</em> the call to {@code update}, to ensure that the
* array slot is not nulled out by {@link Object#finalize} before the
* update, even if the call to {@code action} was the last use of this
* object. This might be the case if, for example a usage in a user program
* had the form {@code new Resource().action();} which retains no other
* reference to this {@code Resource}. While probably overkill here,
* {@code reachabilityFence} is placed in a {@code finally} block to ensure
* that it is invoked across all paths in the method. In a method with more
* complex control paths, you might need further precautions to ensure that
* {@code reachabilityFence} is encountered along all of them.
*
* <p> It is sometimes possible to better encapsulate use of
* {@code reachabilityFence}. Continuing the above example, if it were
* acceptable for the call to method {@code update} to proceed even if the
* finalizer had already executed (nulling out slot), then you could
* localize use of {@code reachabilityFence}:
*
* <pre> {@code
* public void action2() {
* // ...
* Resource.update(getExternalResource());
* }
* private ExternalResource getExternalResource() {
* ExternalResource ext = externalResourceArray[myIndex];
* Reference.reachabilityFence(this);
* return ext;
* }}</pre>
*
* <p> Method {@code reachabilityFence} is not required in constructions
* that themselves ensure reachability. For example, because objects that
* are locked cannot, in general, be reclaimed, it would suffice if all
* accesses of the object, in all methods of class {@code Resource}
* (including {@code finalize}) were enclosed in {@code synchronized (this)}
* blocks. (Further, such blocks must not include infinite loops, or
* themselves be unreachable, which fall into the corner case exceptions to
* the "in general" disclaimer.) However, method {@code reachabilityFence}
* remains a better option in cases where this approach is not as efficient,
* desirable, or possible; for example because it would encounter deadlock.
*
* @param ref the reference. If {@code null}, this method has no effect.
* @since 9
