Motivation:
Allow pre-computing calculation of the constants for compiler where it could be.
Similar fix in OpenJDK: [1].
Modifications:
- Use parentheses.
- Simplify static initialization of `BYTE2HEX_*` arrays in `StringUtil`.
Result:
Less bytecode, possible faster calculations at runtime.

Motiviation:
In our replace(...) methods we always used validation for the newly created headers while the original headers may not use validation at all.
Modifications:
- Only use validation if the original headers used validation as well.
- Ensure we create a copy of the headers in replace(...).
Result:
Fixes [#5226]
Automatic-Module-Name entry provides a stable JDK9 module name, when Netty is used in a modular JDK9 applications. More info: http://blog.joda.org/2017/05/java-se-9-jpms-automatic-modules.html
When Netty migrates to JDK9 in the future, the entry can be replaced by actual module-info descriptor.
Modification:
The POM-s are configured to put the correct module names to the manifest.
Result:
Fixes#7218.
Motivation:
DefaultHttpHeader.names() exposes HTTP header names as a Set<String>. Converting the resulting set to an array using toArray(String[]) throws an exception: java.lang.ArrayStoreException: io.netty.util.AsciiString.
Modifications:
- Remove our custom implementation of toArray(...) (and others) by just extending AbstractCollection.
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes [#7428].
Motivation:
For debugging/logging purpose, it would be convenient to have
HttpHeaders#toString implemented.
DefaultHeaders does implement toString be the implementation is suboptimal and allocates a Set for the names and Lists for values.
Modification:
* Introduce HeadersUtil#toString that provides a convenient optimized helper to implement toString for various headers implementations
* Have DefaultHeaders#toString and HttpHeaders#toString delegate their toString implementation to HeadersUtil
Result:
Convenient HttpHeaders#toString. Optimized DefaultHeaders#toString.
Motivation:
HttpObjectEncoder and MessageAggregator treat buffers that are not readable special. If a buffer is not readable, then an EMPTY_BUFFER is written and the actual buffer is ignored. If the buffer has already been released then this will not be correct as the promise will be completed, but in reality the original content shouldn't have resulted in any write because it was invalid.
Modifications:
- HttpObjectEncoder should retain/write the original buffer instead of using EMPTY_BUFFER
- MessageAggregator should retain/write the original ByteBufHolder instead of using EMPTY_BUFFER
Result:
Invalid write operations which happen to not be readable correctly reflect failed status in the promise, and do not result in any writes to the channel.
Motivation:
Use actual links to new locations of Protobuf repo and documentation to
avoid problems when redirect will not work.
Modification:
Links in comments and all/pom.xml
Result:
Correct links to Protobuf resources
Motivation:
Even if it's a super micro-optimization (most JVM could optimize such
cases in runtime), in theory (and according to some perf tests) it
may help a bit. It also makes a code more clear and allows you to
access such methods in the test scope directly, without instance of
the class.
Modifications:
Add 'static' modifier for all methods, where it possible. Mostly in
test scope.
Result:
Cleaner code with proper 'static' modifiers.
Motivation:
Without a 'serialVersionUID' field, any change to a class will make
previously serialized versions unreadable.
Modifications:
Add missed 'serialVersionUID' field for all Serializable
classes.
Result:
Proper deserialization of previously serialized objects.
Motivation: Today when Netty encounters a general error while decoding
it treats this as a decoder exception. However, for fatal causes this
should not be treated as such, instead the fatal error should be carried
up the stack without the callee having to unwind causes. This was
probably done for byte to byte message decoder but is now done for all
decoders.
Modifications: Instead of translating any error to a decoder exception,
we let those unwind out the stack (note that finally blocks still
execute) except in places where an event needs to fire where we fire
with the error instead of wrapping in a decoder exception.
Result: Fatal errors will not be treated as innocent decoder exceptions.

Motivation:
A large frame will be componsed by many packages. Every time the package
arrived, findEndOfLine will be called from the start of the buffer. It
will cause the complexity of reading frame equal to O(n^2). This can be
eliminated by using a offset to mark the last scan position, when new
package arrived, just find the delimter from the mark. The complexity
will be O(n).
Modification:
Add a offset to mark the last scan position.
Result:
Better performance for read large frame.
Motivation:
The Headers interface supports an interface to get all the headers values corresponding to a particular name. This API returns a List which requires intermediate storage and increases GC pressure.
Modifications:
- Add a method which returns an iterator over all the values for a specific name
Result:
Ability to iterator over values for a specific name with no intermediate collection.
Motivation:
The decode method is too large to be inlined with default compiler settings, hence the uncommon paths need to be packed and moved away form the common one.
Modifications:
The uncommon paths of the decode call (eg failures with thrown exceptions) are packed and moved in private methods in order to reduce the size of the common one
and let it being inlined.
Result:
The decode method is being inlined if the stack depth allows it.
Motivation:
Continuing to make netty happy when compiling through errorprone.
Modification:
Mostly comments, some minor switch statement changes.
Result:
No more compiler errors!
Motivation:
Calling `newInstance()` on a Class object can bypass compile time
checked Exception propagation. This is noted in Java Puzzlers,
as well as in ErrorProne:
http://errorprone.info/bugpattern/ClassNewInstance
Modifications:
Use the niladic constructor to create a new instance.
Result:
Compile time safety for checked exceptions
This reverts commit d63bb4811e as this not covered correctly all cases and so could lead to missing fireChannelReadComplete() calls. We will re-evalute d63bb4811e and resbumit a pr once we are sure all is handled correctly
Motivation:
'insideString' and 'openBraces' need a proper handling when streaming
Json array over multiple writes and an element decoding was started but
not completed.
Related to #6969
Modifications:
If the idx is reset:
- 'insideString' has to be reset to 'false' in order to indicate that
array element will be decoded from the beginning
- 'openBraces' has to be reset to '1' to indicate that Json array
decoding is in progress.
Result:
Json array is properly decoded when in streaming mode
Motivation:
Its wasteful and also confusing that channelReadComplete() is called even if there was no message forwarded to the next handler.
Modifications:
- Only call ctx.fireChannelReadComplete() if at least one message was decoded
- Add unit test
Result:
Less confusing behavior. Fixes [#4312].
Motivation:
1. Hash function in the Snappy encoding is wrong probably: used '+' instead of '*'. See the reference implementation [1].
2. Size of the hash table is calculated, but not applied.
Modifications:
1. Fix hash function: replace addition by multiplication.
2. Allocate hash table with calculated size.
3. Use an `Integer.numberOfLeadingZeros` trick for calculate log2.
4. Release buffers in tests.
Result:
1. Better compression. In the test `encodeAndDecodeLongTextUsesCopy` now compressed size is 175 instead of 180 before this change.
2. No redundant allocations for hash table.
3. A bit faster the calc of shift (less an expensive math operations).

Motivation:
Calling JsonObjectDecoder#reset while streaming Json array over multiple
writes causes CorruptedFrameException to be thrown.
Modifications:
While streaming Json array and if the current readerIndex has been reset,
ensure that the states will not be reset.
Result:
Fixes#6969
Motivation:
1. `ByteBuf` contains methods to writing `CharSequence` which optimized for UTF-8 and ASCII encodings. We can also apply optimization for ISO-8859-1.
2. In many places appropriate methods are not used.
Modifications:
1. Apply optimization for ISO-8859-1 encoding in the `ByteBuf#setCharSequence` realizations.
2. Apply appropriate methods for writing `CharSequences` into buffers.
Result:
Reduce overhead from string-to-bytes conversion.
Motivation:
Lz4FrameEncoder maintains internal state, but the life cycle of the buffer is not consistently managed. The buffer is allocated in handlerAdded but freed in close, but the buffer can still be used until handlerRemoved is called.
Modifications:
- Move the cleanup of the buffer from close to handlerRemoved
- Explicitly throw an EncoderException from Lz4FrameEncoder if the encode operation has finished and there isn't enough space to write data
Result:
No more NPE in Lz4FrameEncoder on the buffer.
Motivation:
JdkZlibDecoder will allocate a new buffer when the previous buffer is filled with inflated data, but JZlibDecoder will attempt to use the same buffer by resizing. This leads to inconsistent results when these two decoders that are intended to be functionality equivalent.
Modifications:
- JdkZlibDecoder should attempt to resize and reuse the existing buffer instead of creating multiple buffers
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6804
Motivation:
ByteToMessageDecoder#handlerRemoved will immediately release the cumulation buffer, but it is possible that a child class may still be using this buffer, and therefore use a dereferenced buffer.
Modifications:
- ByteToMessageDecoder#handlerRemoved and ByteToMessageDecoder#decode should coordinate to avoid the case where a child class is using the cumulation buffer but ByteToMessageDecoder releases that buffer.
Result:
Child classes of ByteToMessageDecoder are less likely to reference a released buffer.
Motivation:
We not correctly guarded against overflow and so call Base64.encode(...) with a big buffer may lead to an overflow when calculate the size of the out buffer.
Modifications:
Correctly guard against overflow.
Result:
Fixes [#6620].
Motivation:
If a read-only ByteBuf is passed to the ByteToMessageDecoder.channelRead(...) method we need to make a copy of it once we try to merge buffers for cumulation. This usually is not the case but can for example happen if the local transport is used. This was the cause of the leak report we sometimes saw during the codec-http2 tests, as we are using the local transport and write a read-only buffer. This buffer will then be passed to the peer channel and fired through the pipeline and so end up as the cumulation buffer in the ByteToMessageDecoder. Once the next fragement is received we tried to merge these and failed with a ReadOnlyBufferException which then produced a leak.
Modifications:
Ensure we copy the buffer if its read-only.
Result:
No more exceptions and so leak when a read-only buffer is passed to ByteToMessageDecoder.channelRead(...)
