> [JDK-8240696](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8240696) added the native method for `Reference.clear`. The original patch skipped intrinsification of this method, because we thought `Reference.clear` is not on a performance sensitive path. However, it shows up prominently on simple benchmarks that touch e.g. `ThreadLocal` cleanups. See the bug for an example profile with `RRWL` benchmarks.
> 
> We need to know the actual oop strongness/weakness before we call into C2 Access API, this work models this after existing code for `refersTo0` intrinsics. C2 Access also need a support for `AS_NO_KEEPALIVE` for stores. 
> 
> Additional testing:
>  - [ ] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `all`
>  - [ ] Linux AArch64 server fastdebug, `all`
