 // A Symbol is a canonicalized string.
 // All Symbols reside in global SymbolTable and are reference counted.
 // Reference counting
 //
 // All Symbols are allocated and added to the SymbolTable.
 // When a class is unloaded, the reference counts of the Symbol pointers in
 // the ConstantPool and in instanceKlass (see release_C_heap_structures) are
 // decremented.  When the reference count for a Symbol goes to 0, the garbage
 // collector can free the Symbol and remove it from the SymbolTable.
 //
 // 0) Symbols need to be reference counted when a pointer to the Symbol is
 // saved in persistent storage.  This does not include the pointer
 // in the SymbolTable bucket (the _literal field in HashtableEntry)
 // that points to the Symbol.  All other stores of a Symbol*
 // to a field of a persistent variable (e.g., the _name filed in
 // FieldAccessInfo or _ptr in a CPSlot) is reference counted.
 //
 // 1) The lookup of a "name" in the SymbolTable either creates a Symbol F for
 // "name" and returns a pointer to F or finds a pre-existing Symbol F for
 // "name" and returns a pointer to it. In both cases the reference count for F
 // is incremented under the assumption that a pointer to F will be created from
 // the return value. Thus the increment of the reference count is on the lookup
 // and not on the assignment to the new Symbol*.  That is
 //    Symbol* G = lookup()
 //                ^ increment on lookup()
 // and not
 //    Symbol* G = lookup()
 //              ^ increment on assignmnet
 // The reference count must be decremented manually when the copy of the
 // pointer G is destroyed.
 //
 // 2) For a local Symbol* A that is a copy of an existing Symbol* B, the
 // reference counting is elided when the scope of B is greater than the scope
 // of A.  For example, in the code fragment
 // below "klass" is passed as a parameter to the method.  Symbol* "kn"
 // is a copy of the name in "klass".
 //
 //   Symbol*  kn = klass->name();
 //   unsigned int d_hash = dictionary()->compute_hash(kn, class_loader);
 //
 // The scope of "klass" is greater than the scope of "kn" so the reference
 // counting for "kn" is elided.
 //
 // Symbol* copied from ConstantPool entries are good candidates for reference
 // counting elision.  The ConstantPool entries for a class C exist until C is
 // unloaded.  If a Symbol* is copied out of the ConstantPool into Symbol* X,
 // the Symbol* in the ConstantPool will in general out live X so the reference
 // counting on X can be elided.
 //
 // For cases where the scope of A is not greater than the scope of B,
 // the reference counting is explicitly done.  See ciSymbol,
 // ResolutionErrorEntry and ClassVerifier for examples.
 //
 // 3) When a Symbol K is created for temporary use, generally for substrings of
 // an existing symbol or to create a new symbol, assign it to a
 // TempNewSymbol. The SymbolTable methods new_symbol(), lookup()
 // and probe() all potentially return a pointer to a new Symbol.
 // The allocation (or lookup) of K increments the reference count for K
 // and the destructor decrements the reference count.
 //
 // Another example of TempNewSymbol usage is parsed_name used in
 // ClassFileParser::parseClassFile() where parsed_name is used in the cleanup
 // after a failed attempt to load a class.  Here parsed_name is a
 // TempNewSymbol (passed in as a parameter) so the reference count on its symbol
 // will be decremented when it goes out of scope.
