Motivation:
On openSUSE (probably more), 64 bit builds use lib64, e.g. /usr/lib64, and
configure picks this up and builds the native library in
native-build/target/lib64 where maven is not looking.
Modifications:
Explicitly specify --libdir=${project.build.directory}/native-build/target/lib
during configuration.
Result:
Maven uses the correct lib directory.
Motivation:
At some point we needed --add-opens=java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED to run our native tests but this is not true anymore.
Modifications:
Remove --add-opens=java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED when running native tests.
Result:
Remove obsolate jvm arg.
Motivation:
We need to update to a new checkstyle plugin to allow the usage of lambdas.
Modifications:
- Update to new plugin version.
- Fix checkstyle problems.
Result:
Be able to use checkstyle plugin which supports new Java syntax.
Motivation:
Most of the maven modules do not explicitly declare their
dependencies and rely on transitivity, which is not always correct.
Modifications:
For all maven modules, add all of their dependencies to pom.xml
Result:
All of the (essentially non-transitive) depepdencies of the modules are explicitly declared in pom.xml
Motivation:
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6 needs to be used as everything before is not supported in 10.14 anymore. 10.6 was released 2009 so this should be a safe thing to do.
Modifications:
Use MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6
Result:
Be able to compile on MacOS 10.14
Motivation:
We should support to load multiple shaded versions of the same netty artifact as netty is often used in multiple dependencies.
This is related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7272.
Modifications:
- Use -fvisibility=hidden when compiling and use JNIEXPORT for things we really want to have exported
- Ensure fields are declared as static so these are not exported
- Adjust testsuite-shading to use install_name_tool on MacOS to change the id of the lib. Otherwise the wrong may be used.
Result:
Be able to use multiple shaded versions of the same netty artifact.
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:
We need to ensure we use the correct osname in the Bundle-NativeCode declaration as declared in:
https://www.osgi.org/developer/specifications/reference/
Modifications:
Update osname to match the spec.
Result:
Correct Bundle-NativeCode entry in the MANIFEST
Motivation:
We should only try to load the native artifacts if the architecture we are currently running on is the same as the one the native libraries were compiled for.
Modifications:
Include architecture in native lib name and append the current arch when trying to load these. This will fail then if its not the same as the arch of the compiled arch.
Result:
Fixes [#7150].
Motivation:
At the moment we try to load the library using multiple names which includes names using - but also _ . We should just use _ all the time.
Modifications:
Replace - with _
Result:
Fixes [#7069]
Motivation:
We rely upon the linker being non-lazy to test compatibility the native library compatibility for kqueue, but the default mode of operation is to lazy link.
Modifications:
- We should modify the build scripts to inform the linker that this library should not be lazy linked
- Error messages changes
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _clock_gettime
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: unsupported JNI version 0xFFFFFFFF required by .../libnetty-transport-native-kqueue.dylib
Result:
Link errors are detected upon library load time.
Motivation:
We should not force autoconf and compile as this will result in multiple executions and so slow down the build.
Modifications:
Remove force declarations
Result:
Faster build of native modules
Motivation:
To ensure the release plugin works correctly we need to ensure all modules are included during build.
Modification:
- Include all modules
- Skip compilation and tests for native code when not supported but still include the module and build the jar
Result:
Build and release works again
Motivation:
We currently don't have a native transport which supports kqueue https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue&sektion=2. This can be useful for BSD systems such as MacOS to take advantage of native features, and provide feature parity with the Linux native transport.
Modifications:
- Make a new transport-native-unix-common module with all the java classes and JNI code for generic unix items. This module will build a static library for each unix platform, and included in the dynamic libraries used for JNI (e.g. transport-native-epoll, and eventually kqueue).
- Make a new transport-native-unix-common-tests module where the tests for the transport-native-unix-common module will live. This is so each unix platform can inherit from these test and ensure they pass.
- Add a new transport-native-kqueue module which uses JNI to directly interact with kqueue
Result:
JNI support for kqueue.
