Motivation: Another way to process the readable data in a buffer. This might be faster for composite buffers, since their byte cursors are a bit slower than the MemSegBuffer due to the indirections and more complicated logic. Modification: ReadableComponent now have openCursor method. Note that we *don't* add an openReverseCursor method on ReadableComponent. The reason is that forEachReadable iterates the components in the forward direction, and it's really confusing to then iterate the bytes in a backwards direction. Working with both directions at the same time is very error prone. Result: It is now possible to process readable components with byte cursors.
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 most 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 impliesimage. 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– remove the leftover containers created bydbg,test, andbuild.build– build binaries and run all tests in a container, and copy thetargetdirectory out of the container afterwards. This is the default build target.
