Motivation:
Buffers should always behave the same, regardless of their underlying implementation and how they are allocated.
Modification:
The SizeClassedMemoryPool did not properly reset the internal buffer state prior to reusing them.
The offsets, byte order, and contents are now cleared before a buffer is reused.
Result:
There is no way to observe externally whether a buffer was reused or not.
Motivation:
Because of the current dependency on snapshot versions of the Panama Foreign version of OpenJDK 16, this project is fairly involved to build.
Modification:
To make it easier for newcomers to build the binaries for this project, a docker-based build is added.
The docker image is constructed such that it contains a fresh snapshot build of the right fork of Java.
A make file has also been added, which encapsulates the common commands one would use for working with the docker build.
Result:
It is now easy for newcomers to make builds, and run tests, of this project, as long as they have a working docker installation.
