Please review this enhancement for Symbol comparison.
This should allow future enhancement such as multiple SymbolTable and
symbols with the same utf8 strings in different tables should be
considered "equivalent".
Although this changeset touches many files, the main change is in
src/share/vm/oops/symbol.hpp with a new SymbolRef class. The rest of the
change is mostly replacing Symbol* with SymbolRef.
Since currently there's only one single SymbolTable, it isn't feasible
to write a specific testcase for this enhancement. We will provide a
testcase when this enhancement is used.
Note also that the copyright header will be fixed before this changeset
is committed.
