Chris Vest e3c7f9b632 Capture build artifacts for failed builds
Motivation:
When a build fails, it's desirable to have the build artifacts available
so the build failure can be inspected, investigated and hopefully fixed.

Modification:
Change the Makefile and CI workflow such that the build artifacts are
captured and uploaded when the build fails.

Result:
A "target.zip" file is now available for download on failed GitHub
Actions builds.

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.
