RFR(S): 7095243: Disambiguate ReferenceProcessor::_discoveredSoftRefs

[Bengt Rutisson]

Hi John,

Thanks for fixing this! Looks good.

Two questions regarding minor things:

* You call the new field "_discovered_refs" which I think is correct 
according to the naming convetions. However, the old fields had a 
different convetion - they are called _discoveredSoftRefs etc. To be 
consistent would it be worth calling the new field _discoveredRefs or 
rename the old fields to _discovered_soft_refs etc?

* I think the accessor methods that you added in referenceProcessor.hpp: 
discovered_soft_refs(), discovered_weak_refs(), discovered_final_refs(), 
discovered_phantom_refs() are not used anywhere. Do you want to keep 
them anyway?

The above are just questions. I am fine with the change as it is.

Bengt
