26  /**
27   * This wrapper (along with the Java 8-specific counterpart in src/main/java8) allows us to
28   * implement cleanup logic for objects that are garbage-collectable/no longer reachable.
29   *
30   * <p>
31   * Usage:
32   * <ol>
33   * <li>Create a subclass of CleanableState and attach it as a private field to the object you want
34   * to be cleaned up. You may call that field {@code cleanableState}.</li>
35   * <li>Define all resources that need to be cleaned up in this subclass (instead of the observed
36   * object itself).</li>
37   * <li>Make sure to not refer the observed object instance itself, as that will create a reference
38   * cycle and prevent proper cleanup.</li>
39   * <li>Implement the {@link #doClean()} method to perform all the necessary cleanup steps.</li>
40   * <li>If the observed class implements {@code close()}, it's a good practice to have it just call
41   * {@code cleanableState.runCleaner()}.</li>
42   * </ol>
43   * </p>
44   * <p>
45   * Implementation details:
46   * <ul>
47   * <li>In Java 9 or later, {@link Cleaner} is used under the hood.</li>
48   * <li>In Java 8 or earlier, {@link #finalize()} calls {@link #doClean()} directly.</li>
49   * </ul>
50   * </p>
