Chris Vest 53d2e4b955 Pooled buffers must reset their state before reuse
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.

Netty Incubator Buffer API

This repository is incubating a new buffer API proposed for Netty 5.

Building and Testing

Short version: just run make.

The project currently relies on snapshot versions of the Panama Foreign fork of OpenJDK. This allows us to test out the must recent version of the jdk.incubator.foreign APIs, but also make building and local development more involved. To simplify things, we have a Docker based build, controlled via a Makefile with the following commands:

  • image build the docker image. This includes building a snapshot of OpenJDK, and download all relevant Maven dependencies.
  • test run all tests in a docker container. This implies image. The container is automatically deleted afterwards.
  • dbg drop into a shell in the build container, without running the build itself. The debugging container is not deleted afterwards.
  • clean remote the debugging container created by dbg.
  • build build binaries and run all tests in a container, and copy the target directory out of the container afterwards. This is the default build target.
