Motivation:
Previously, we used SecureRandom.nextLong() to generate the initialSeedUniquifier. This required more entrophy than necessary because it has to 1) generate the seed of SecureRandom first and then 2) generate a random long integer. Instead, we can use generateSeed() to skip the step (2)
Modifications:
Use generateSeed() instead of nextLong()
Result:
ThreadLocalRandom requires less amount of entrphy to start up
- Fixes#1765
Java 6 did a poor job of generating seedUniquifier unlike 7, so I implemented platform-independent seedUniquifier generator with configurability
Split the project into the following modules:
* common
* buffer
* codec
* codec-http
* transport
* transport-*
* handler
* example
* testsuite (integration tests that involve 2+ modules)
* all (does nothing yet, but will make it generate netty.jar)
This commit also fixes the compilation errors with transport-sctp on
non-Linux systems. It will at least compile without complaints.
