Unsafe::getObject returns a reference to an object. Similarly Unsafe::putObject sets a reference in the given base+offset. This patch proposes to rename Unsafe xxxObject to xxxReference that will make the xxxReference API very clear that these are getters/setters for a reference (instance of object class) and ready for adding xxxValue in the futurefor values. Note that this renaming only applies to jdk.internal.misc.Unsafe but not sun.misc.Unsafe. So no impact to existing libraries that depends on sun.misc.Unsafe in jdk.unsupported module. I ran jdk_core, core_tools, langtools and nashorn tier1-3, hotspot_runtime, hotspot_compiler test groups. thanks Mandy
