WHAT DOES EPHEMERON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ephemeron

In computer science, finalization occurs when a garbage collector informs an application that an object is "almost collectable." It is used to help an application maintain its invariants. Weak references may be used by a garbage collector to determine the objects that are almost collectable. However, weak references are not sufficient to describe all situations where an object ought to be almost collectable. For example, key-value pairs may be stored using weak pairs. If a key maps to itself as a value, however, the key cannot be collected. Ephemerons are similar to weak pairs, but an object in an ephemeron's key field may be classed as "almost collectable" even if it is reachable from the ephemeron's value fields.
