+ * This test is a slightly modified version of a test taken from a research paper
+ * by CE McDowell of UCSC titled 'No so static "static fields"'.
+ * To quote from the paper :
+ * " In this paper we have identified a problem with the Java Language
+ * Specification with regard to class unloading and static fields. We have
+ * provided an example that demonstrates how the current implementation of
+ * class unloading can result in a static field being reinitialized resulting
+ * in a program that changes its behavior depending upon when garbage collection occurs."
+ * In this test, the creation of the object first assigned to
+ * class_one_object (actually an instance of ClassOne) also creates an instance
+ * of ClassTwo which contains a static field. Once the references to the ClassOne
+ * object and the Class object are set to null, a call to the garbage
+ * collector results in both ClassOne and ClassTwo being unloaded. When
+ * the final assignment to class_one_object occurs, creating a new instance of ClassOne
+ * and a new instance of ClassTwo, the program should print out the value of counter in
+ * ClassTwo as 2.  This would mean that class was not unloaded and the static field
+ * was not reinitialized. If the test prints out 1, the test has failed as  the static
+ * field was reinitilized.

+ * VM Testbase keywords: [gc, stress, stressopt, nonconcurrent, quarantine]
+ * VM Testbase readme:
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *     The test checks that Garbage Collector can manage jumble in the JVM. The
+ *     test fails if any unexpected exceptions and errors are thrown or the JVM
+ *     is not crashed.
+ *     The test starts a number of threads that is set in *.cfg file or calculates
+ *     that value based on the machine. All threads have
+ *     java.util.Vector field anf they fill that vector with 4 types of objects:
+ *         1. Initialized long[]
+ *         2. Uninitialized double[]
+ *         3. Initialized int[]
+ *         4. A nsk.share.gc.NonbranchyTree (number of nodes and their size depend
+ *            on valkue returned by Runtime.maxMemory())
+ *     As soon as the vector is filled, each thread removes half elements of it and
+ *     then fills those places of the vector again. However, all threads use just
+ *     about 10% of maximum amount of memory that JVM attemts to use, so
+ *     OutOfMemoryError is treated as a failure. That means GC does not work
+ *     quickly enough to destroy all objects that do not have references. The
+ *     procedure of filling and cleaning of the vector is repeated for
+ *     INTERNAL_ITERATIONS times.

+ * @test
+ * @key stress gc
+ *
+ * @summary converted from VM Testbase gc/gctests/LargeObjects/large001.
+ * VM Testbase keywords: [gc, stress, stressopt, nonconcurrent, quick]
+ * VM Testbase readme:
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *     The test checks that Garbage Collector correctly does not throw any
+ *     unexpected exceptions/errors while allocating large objects (classes
+ *     that have more than 65535 fields and classes that have less than 65535
+ *     fields). 65535 of fields is a limitation for JVM (see JVM specification
+ *     Second edition 4.10).
+ *     Since it is impossible to create one class with about 65535 of fields
+ *     (javac cannot compile it), a child class extends a parent class, so the
+ *     fields are devided into two subsets. However, the child class still has
+ *     about 65535 of fields.
+ *     The test starts a number of threads. This number is either set in *.cfg
+ *     file or is calculated by the test itself based on the machine (see
+ *     nsk.share.gc.Algorithms.getThreadsCount() method). As soon as all threads
+ *     are started, each thread begins its checking.
+ *     There are 13 classes to be loaded by each thread. These classes are
+ *     generated by nsk.share.gc.Generator (see its javadoc for more details).
+ *     Each class has a huge number of fields, but this number is less than the JVM
+ *     limitation.
+ *     The test loads the classes with nsk.share.gc.GCClassUnloader class that
+ *     extends nsk.share.ClassUnloader and has a bit different algorith of eating
+ *     heap. As soon as a class is loaded, the test creates an instance of
+ *     it - allocates an object of that type. Then it drops references to the
+ *     class and to the instance and tries to unload the class. The test does not
+ *     expect any exceptions to be thrown.
+ *

+ * VM Testbase keywords: [gc, stress, stressopt, nonconcurrent]
+ * VM Testbase readme:
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *     The test checks that Garbage Collector correctly does not throw any
+ *     unexpected exceptions/errors while allocating large objects (classes
+ *     that have more than 65535 fields and classes that have less than 65535
+ *     fields). 65535 of fields is a limitation for JVM (see JVM specification
+ *     Second edition 4.10).
+ *     Since it is impossible to create one class with about 65535 of fields
+ *     (javac cannot compile it), a child class extends a parent class, so the
+ *     fields are devided into two subsets. However, the child class still has
+ *     about 65535 of fields.
+ *     The test starts a number of threads. This number is either set in *.cfg
+ *     file or is calculated by the test itself based on the machine (see
+ *     nsk.share.gc.Algorithms.getThreadsCount() method). As soon as all threads
+ *     are started, each thread begins its checking.
+ *     There are 13 classes to be loaded by each thread. These classes are
+ *     generated by nsk.share.gc.Generator (see its javadoc for more details).
+ *     Each class has a huge number of fields, and the number of fields is more than
+ *     the JVM limitation.
+ *     The test loads the classes with nsk.share.gc.GCClassUnloader class that
+ *     extends nsk.share.ClassUnloader and has a bit different algorith of eating
+ *     heap. As soon as a class is loaded, the test creates an instance of
+ *     it - allocates an object of that type. Then it drops references to the
+ *     class and to the instance and tries to unload the class. The test does not
+ *     expect any exceptions to be thrown.

+ * ********************************
+ * set TIMEOUT = 20
+ * *******************************
+ * This test creates a 2 dimensional matrix of (100X100)10,000 elements.
+ * Each element in this matrix houses the address of a "Cell" that
+ * occupies about 100 bytes. The total memory occupied by this structure is
+ * about 1M.
+ * Once this structure, has been built, 5 threads are let loose that
+ * randomly choose an element in this matrix and set its contents to null
+ * effectively creating 100bytes of garbage. The threads continue to act
+ * until all 5 threads combined have "nulled out" half the cells in the matrix.
+ * At this point, 5 refiller threads proceed to refill the empty
+ * matrix elements with new cells.
+ * Once the refiller threads have refilled all the empty matrix elements
+ * with new cells, the cycle begins all over again with the 5 "emptier"
+ * threads "nulling out" cells randomly.
+ * This is repeated 50 times.  Every iteration produces  0.5 Meg
+ * of garbage. The maximum amount of live memory at use at any time is 1Meg.
+ * If no garbage collection takes place during any of the ten iterations,
+ * the total amount(live + garbage) of heap space consumed at the end
+ * of the program is 0.5*50 + 1 = 26Meg.
+ * The test fails if an OutOfMemory Exception is thrown.

+ *
+ * @summary converted from VM Testbase gc/gctests/PhantomReference/phantom001.
+ * VM Testbase keywords: [gc, stress, stressopt, nonconcurrent]
+ * VM Testbase readme:
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *     The test checks that Garbage Collector correctly works with
+ *     PhantomReferences. It also checks that no unexpected exceptions and errors
+ *     are thrown or the JVM is not crashed.
+ *     The test starts a number of threads. Each thread run tests for some time
+ *     or serveral iterations.  See javadoc StressOptions for configuration.
+ *     First of all each thread defines what type to check (there are 11 types
+ *     totally). As soon as the type is defined, a PhantomRefence is created that
+ *     refers to an array of tested type and is registered with in a queue. A
+ *     PhantomRefence for NonbranchyTree and Referent calsses does not refer to
+ *     arrays, but to instances of the classes.
+ *     After that a thread performs next checks for the reference:
+ *         1. The reference is in queue after GC is provoked with
+ *            Algorithms.eatMemory() method (a single thread eats the memory).
+ *         2. reference.get() returns null.
+ *         3. queue.poll() returns the reference that was created.
+ *         4. queue.poll() again returns null.
+ *         5. If the checked type is class (Referent), then it must be finalized,
+ *            since the reference is already enqueued.
+ *         6. reference.clear() does not throw any exception.
+ *     The test extends ThreadedGCTest and implements GarbageProducerAware and
+ *     MemoryStrategyAware interfaces. The corresponding javadoc documentation
+ *     for additional test configuration.
+ *

+ * @test
+ * @key stress gc
+ *
+ * @summary converted from VM Testbase gc/gctests/PhantomReference/phantom002.
+ * VM Testbase keywords: [gc, stress, stressopt, nonconcurrent]
+ * VM Testbase readme:
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *     The test checks that Garbage Collector correctly works with
+ *     PhantomReferences. It also checks that no unexpected exceptions and errors
+ *     are thrown or the JVM is not crashed.
+ *     The test starts a number of threads. Each thread run tests for some time
+ *     or serveral iterations.  See javadoc StressOptions for configuration.
+ *     First of all each thread defines what type to check (there are 11 types
+ *     totally). As soon as the type is defined, a PhantomRefence is created that
+ *     refers to an array of tested type and is registered with in a queue. A
+ *     PhantomRefence for NonbranchyTree and Referent calsses does not refer to
+ *     arrays, but to instances of the classes.
+ *     After that a thread performs next checks for the reference:
+ *         1. The reference is in queue after GC is provoked with
+ *            Algorithms.eatMemory() method (a single thread eats the memory).
+ *         2. reference.get() returns null.
+ *         3. queue.poll() returns the reference that was created.
+ *         4. queue.poll() again returns null.
+ *         5. If the checked type is class (Referent), then it must be finalized,
+ *            since the reference is already enqueued.
+ *         6. reference.clear() does not throw any exception.
+ *     The test extends ThreadedGCTest and implements GarbageProducerAware and
+ *     MemoryStrategyAware interfaces. The corresponding javadoc documentation
+ *     for additional test configuration.

+ * VM Testbase keywords: [gc, stress, stressopt, nonconcurrent]
+ * VM Testbase readme:
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *     The test checks that Garbage Collector correctly works with
+ *     SoftReferences. It also checks that no unexpected exceptions and errors
+ *     are thrown or the JVM is not crashed.
+ *     The test starts a number of threads. Each thread run tests for some time
+ *     or serveral iterations.  See javadoc StressOptions for configuration.
+ *     First of all each thread defines what type to check (there are 10 types
+ *     totally). As soon as the type is defined, a SoftRefence is created that
+ *     refers to an array of tested type and is registered with in a queue. A
+ *     SoftRefence for NonbranchyTree class does not refer to an array, but to
+ *     instances of the class.
+ *     After that a thread performs next checks for the reference:
+ *         1. The reference is in queue after GC is provoked with
+ *            Algorithms.eatMemory() method (a single thread eats the memory).
+ *         2. queue.remove() returns reference from the queue.
+ *         3. queue.poll() returns null.
+ *         4. reference.clear() does not throw any exception.
+ *     The test extends ThreadedGCTest and implements GarbageProducerAware and
+ *     MemoryStrategyAware interfaces. The corresponding javadoc documentation
+ *     for additional test configuration.

+ * VM Testbase keywords: [gc, stress, stressopt, nonconcurrent]
+ * VM Testbase readme:
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *     The test checks that Garbage Collector correctly works with
+ *     SoftReferences. It also checks that no unexpected exceptions and errors
+ *     are thrown or the JVM is not crashed.
+ *     The test starts a number of threads. Each thread run tests for some time
+ *     or serveral iterations.  See javadoc StressOptions for configuration.
+ *     First of all each thread defines what type to check (there are 10 types
+ *     totally). As soon as the type is defined, a SoftRefence is created that
+ *     refers to an array of tested type and is registered with in a queue. A
+ *     SoftRefence for NonbranchyTree class does not refer to an array, but to
+ *     instances of the class.
+ *     After that a thread performs next checks for the reference:
+ *         1. The reference is in queue after GC is provoked with
+ *            Algorithms.eatMemory() method (a single thread eats the memory).
+ *         2. queue.remove() returns reference from the queue.
+ *         3. queue.poll() returns null.
+ *         4. reference.clear() does not throw any exception.
+ *     The test extends ThreadedGCTest and implements GarbageProducerAware and
+ *     MemoryStrategyAware interfaces. The corresponding javadoc documentation
+ *     for additional test configuration.

+ *     number of trees from the vector, this number is equal to number of
+ *     processors (returned by nsk.share.gc.Algorithms.availableProcessors()).
+ *     Algorithms.eatMemory(int) is invoked after that to provoke GC to clean the

+ * VM Testbase keywords: [gc, stress, stressopt, nonconcurrent]
+ * VM Testbase readme:
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *     The test checks that Garbage Collector correctly works with
+ *     WeakReferences. It also checks that no unexpected exceptions and errors
+ *     are thrown or the JVM is not crashed.
+ *     The test starts a number of threads. Each thread run tests for some time
+ *     or serveral iterations.  See javadoc StressOptions for configuration.
+ *     First of all each test defines what type to check (there are 10 types
+ *     totally). As soon as the type is defined, a WeakReference is created that
+ *     refers to an array of tested type and is registered with in a queue. A
+ *     WeakReference for NonbranchyTree class does not refer to an array, but to
+ *     instances of the class.
+ *     After that a thread performs next checks for the reference:
+ *         1. The reference is in queue after GC is provoked with
+ *            Algorithms.eatMemory() method (a single thread eats the memory).
+ *         2. queue.remove() returns reference from the queue.
+ *         3. queue.poll() returns null.
+ *         4. reference.clear() does not throw any exception.
+ *     The test extends ThreadedGCTest and implements GarbageProducerAware and
+ *     MemoryStrategyAware interfaces. The corresponding javadoc documentation
+ *     for additional test configuration.

+ * VM Testbase keywords: [gc, stress, stressopt, nonconcurrent]
+ * VM Testbase readme:
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *     The test checks that Garbage Collector correctly works with
+ *     WeakReferences. It also checks that no unexpected exceptions and errors
+ *     are thrown or the JVM is not crashed.
+ *     The test starts a number of threads. Each thread run tests for some time
+ *     or serveral iterations.  See javadoc StressOptions for configuration.
+ *     First of all each test defines what type to check (there are 10 types
+ *     totally). As soon as the type is defined, a WeakReference is created that
+ *     refers to an array of tested type and is registered with in a queue. A
+ *     WeakReference for NonbranchyTree class does not refer to an array, but to
+ *     instances of the class.
+ *     After that a thread performs next checks for the reference:
+ *         1. The reference is in queue after GC is provoked with
+ *            Algorithms.eatMemory() method (a single thread eats the memory).
+ *         2. queue.remove() returns reference from the queue.
+ *         3. queue.poll() returns null.
+ *         4. reference.clear() does not throw any exception.
+ *     The test extends ThreadedGCTest and implements GarbageProducerAware and
+ *     MemoryStrategyAware interfaces. The corresponding javadoc documentation
+ *     for additional test configuration.

+ * set timeout = 25 when running this test
+ * *******************************************
+ * This tests checks to see if the garbage collector enqueues
+ * a weak reference when referrent has been turned to garbage.
+ * Weak references are enqueued in  a non-deterministic way
+ * by the garbage collector, so the test uses a heuristic to
+ * determine whether the references are being enqueued in a timely
+ * manner which in turn determines whether outcome of the test.
+ * IF the user invokes the test with the following command line
+ * parameters :
+ *   java WeakReferenceGC -qFactor 0.9 -gcCount 5
+ * the test expects that 90% of all objects with only weak references
+ * pointing to them will be enqueued within 5 calls to the garbage collector.
+ * When I ran the test, I consistently got figures of 98% enqueueing
+ * with just 1 call to the garbage collector. So if this test fails,
+ * at its current settings, the garbage collector is not performing as well
+ * as it used to.
+ * The test creates circular linked lists of size 0.1Meg each. The number
+ * of lists created can be set via the -numLists flag. The default
+ * value is 50.
+ * The circular linked lists have both strong and weak references pointing
+ * to them. The strong and weak references are kept in arrays.
+ * The strong references are all nulled out and System.gc() is called
+ * explicitly and the heuristic is applied. If the test does not
+ * satisfy the heuristic or an OutOfMemory exception is thrown,
+ * the test fails.
+ * Array containing    Each circular linked list        Array containing
+ * weak references     is 0.1 Meg each and has          strong references
+ * to linked lists.    a weak reference, W<n> and a     to linked lists.

+ * ********************************************************
+ * LD_LIBRARY PATH must include "$TESTBASE/src/misc/gc/utils/lib/sparc(or i386)"
+ * while running these tests. The native code for all the mallocWithGC* tests
+ * has been bunched up into a single .so.
+ * ********************************************************
+ * In this test, 2 threads are created, one thread(javaHeapEater)
+ * creates garbage by nulling out the elements of a vector, which formerly
+ * held points to circular linked lists. These elements are again repopulated
+ * with new linked lists. The second thread invokes a native function
+ * that continually mallocs and frees one byte of memory for 3 minutes
+ * a hold on a malloc lock.
+ * In this test, the GC is called synchronously while another
+ * thread contines to malloc/free in a loop.
+ * The idea here is  to see if the vm deadlocks (if it does, it is ofcourse
+ * a failure ). This test was created because of the following problem
+ * that the vm used to have :
+ *  "The malloc/GC deadlock problem is that a gc may suspend a thread (in native
+ * or VM code) that is in the middle of a malloc, so it has the "malloc" lock.
+ * GC may want to do a malloc, but it can't get the lock, so it deadlocks. "

+ * set TIMEOUT = 20
+ * *******************************
+ * This test creates a 2 dimensional matrix of (100X100)10,000 elements.
+ * Each element in this matrix houses the address of a "Cell" that
+ * occupies about 100 bytes. The total memory occupied by this structure is
+ * about 1M.
+ * Once this structure, has been built, 5 threads are let loose that
+ * randomly choose an element in this matrix and set its contents to null
+ * effectively creating 100bytes of garbage. The threads continue to act
+ * until all 5 threads combined have "nulled out" half the cells in the matrix,
+ * which amounts to 0.5Meg of garbage. The indices of each "nulled out"
+ * cell is stored in a stack. This information is later used during
+ * the refilling stage by the native function, kickOffRefiller();
+ * The native function, kickOffRefiller() refills all the lacunae in the
+ * matrix with new cells.
+ * This process of nulling out" and refilling is repeated 50 times.
+ * Every iteration produces  0.5 Meg
+ * of garbage. The maximum amount of live memory at use at any time is 1Meg.
+ * If no garbage collection takes place during any of the ten iterations,
+ * the total amount(live + garbage) of heap space consumed at the end
+ * of the program is 0.5*50 + 1 = 26Meg.
+ * The test fails if an OutOfMemory Exception is thrown.
