Folks,
These object references are enumerated as weak
There might be a coincidence with the message Harmony VM continues to print:
The GC did not provide gc_add_weak_root_set_entry()
When we just got GC v4 before Salikh implemented weak roots they counted as strong ones and were not collectable. Xiaofeng, does it make sense? On 7/23/07, Gregory Shimansky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

These attributes may be used by heap profiler to analyze it. Tagged objects may be reachable or not, those that aren't reachable should be collected by GC. Take a look at JVMTI spec section that describes heap iteration API [2]. In JVMTI code tags to objects are implemented as a pair of jlong and object reference. These object references are enumerated as weak (see file jvmti_tags.cpp) using gc_add_weak_root_set_entry() so GC should not have a problem removing unreachable objects.
