> This spec clarification is a follow-up to [JDK-8224760](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8224760?focusedCommentId=14268320&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-14268320) w.r.t. reference processing.  Since there is no guarantee for any memory reclamation by the invocation of `System::gc`, the spec should also clarify that there is no guarantee in determining the change of reachability of any objects or any particular number of `Reference` objects be enqueued and cleared.
