Robin Garner commented on RVM-839:
----------------------------------

Added 3 new types: weakref, softref and phantomref.  These can only be stack allocated, and have identical semantics, similar to java weak reference types.

The intrinsics weakRef, softRef and phantomRef create the appropriate type of reference to a heap object.  The intrinsics getXxxReferent return the referent of each reference type, which will be null if the referent was not strongly reachable during the most recent GC.
