* Optimize AbstractByteBuf.getCharSequence() in US_ASCII case
Motivation:
Inspired by https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8388, I noticed this
simple optimization to avoid char[] allocation (also suggested in a TODO
here).
Modifications:
Return an AsciiString from AbstractByteBuf.getCharSequence() if
requested charset is US_ASCII or ISO_8859_1 (latter thanks to
@Scottmitch's suggestion). Also tweak unit tests not to require Strings
and include a new benchmark to demonstrate the speedup.
Result:
Speed-up of AbstractByteBuf.getCharSequence() in ascii and iso 8859/1
cases
Motivation:
If you encode a SOCKS5 message like new DefaultSocks5CommandResponse(FAILURE, DOMAIN, "", 0)
you correctly get a result of 05010003000000.
But if the bndAddr is null, for example like new DefaultSocks5CommandResponse(FAILURE, DOMAIN)
the encoded result is 0501000301000000 which means the domain name has a length of one and consists of a 0-byte.
Modification:
With this commit it is also correctly encoded as a string of 0 length.
Result:
Correctly encode empty SOCKS5 address
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: 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:
According to SOCKS 5 spec, dstPort = 0 is a valid value in case of UDP ASSOCIATE.
Modifications:
- Allow 0 as port.
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Fixes [#7156].
Motivation:
In the SocksCmdRequest and SocksCmdResponse constructors a host param converts from IDN to ascii compatible form regardless address type.
Modifications:
Use `IDN#toASCII` only for `DOMAIN` address type.
Result:
More correct host handling in socks commands.
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:
1. Internal class `SocksCommonUtils` contains a method `intToIp` that also exists in the `NetUtil`.
2. A `SocksCommonUtils#ipv6toCompressedForm` is never used.
Modifications:
1. Replace `intToIp` method usage with `NetUtil#intToIpAddress`.
2. Remove unused methods from `SocksCommonUtils`.
Result:
Less code for supports.
Motivation:
Some classes have fields which can be local.
Modifications:
Convert fields to the local variable when possible.
Result:
Clean up. More chances for young generation or scalar replacement.
Motivation:
Currently Netty does not wrap socket connect, bind, or accept
operations in doPrivileged blocks. Nor does it wrap cases where a dns
lookup might happen.
This prevents an application utilizing the SecurityManager from
isolating SocketPermissions to Netty.
Modifications:
I have introduced a class (SocketUtils) that wraps operations
requiring SocketPermissions in doPrivileged blocks.
Result:
A user of Netty can grant SocketPermissions explicitly to the Netty
jar, without granting it to the rest of their application.
Motivation:
NetUtil.bytesToIpAddress does not correctly translate IPv4 address to String. Also IPv6 addresses may not follow minimization conventions when converting to a String (see rfc 5952).
Modifications:
- NetUtil.bytesToIpAddress should correctly handle negative byte values for IPv4
- NetUtil.bytesToIpAddress should leverage existing to string conversion code in NetUtil
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5821

Motivation:
slice(), duplicate() and readSlice() currently create a non-recyclable
derived buffer instance. Under heavy load, an application that creates a
lot of derived buffers can put the garbage collector under pressure.
Modifications:
- Add the following methods which creates a non-recyclable derived buffer
- retainedSlice()
- retainedDuplicate()
- readRetainedSlice()
- Add the new recyclable derived buffer implementations, which has its
own reference count value
- Add ByteBufHolder.retainedDuplicate()
- Add ByteBufHolder.replace(ByteBuf) so that..
- a user can replace the content of the holder in a consistent way
- copy/duplicate/retainedDuplicate() can delegate the holder
construction to replace(ByteBuf)
- Use retainedDuplicate() and retainedSlice() wherever possible
- Miscellaneous:
- Rename DuplicateByteBufTest to DuplicatedByteBufTest (missing 'D')
- Make ReplayingDecoderByteBuf.reject() return an exception instead of
throwing it so that its callers don't need to add dummy return
statement
Result:
Derived buffers are now recycled when created via retainedSlice() and
retainedDuplicate() and derived from a pooled buffer
Motivation:
We use ByteBuf.readBytes(int) in various places where we could either remove it completely or use readSlice(int).retain().
Modifications:
- Remove ByteBuf.readBytes(int) when possible or replace by readSlice(int).retain().
Result:
Faster code.
Motivation:
See #3321
Modifications:
1. Add CharsetUtil.encoder/decoder() methods
2. Deprecate CharsetUtil.getEncoder/getDecoder() methods
Result:
Users can use new CharsetUtil.encoder/decoder() to specify error actions
