Unregister all previous registered native methods if loading of native code fails… (#10719)
Motivation:

It's important to unload all previous registered native methods when there is a failure during loading the native lib. Failing to do so may lead to an "invalid state" and so may segfault the JVM when trying to call a native method that was previous loaded.

This was observed when two versions of netty-tcnative were on the classpath which had different requirements in terms of linking.

Something like this was reported in he hs log:

```
Instructions: (pc=0x0000000116413bf0)
0x0000000116413bd0:
[error occurred during error reporting (printing registers, top of stack, instructions near pc), id 0xb]

Register to memory mapping:

RAX=0x0000000116413bf0 is an unknown value
RBX={method} {0x000000011422e708} 'aprMajorVersion' '()I' in 'io/netty/internal/tcnative/Library'
RCX=0x000000000000000a is an unknown value
RDX=0x000000000000000a is an unknown value
```

Modifications:

- Unregister previous registered native methods on failure
- Unregister previous registered native methods on on unload of the native lib

Result:

No more segfault caused by invalid state when loading of the native lib fails in between. In this case the user will receive an error now like:

Netty Project

Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

How to build

For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.

You require the following to build Netty:

Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.

Branches to look

Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.

Usage with JDK 9

Netty can be used in modular JDK9 applications as a collection of automatic modules. The module names follow the reverse-DNS style, and are derived from subproject names rather than root packages due to historical reasons. They are listed below:

  • io.netty.all
  • io.netty.buffer
  • io.netty.codec
  • io.netty.codec.dns
  • io.netty.codec.haproxy
  • io.netty.codec.http
  • io.netty.codec.http2
  • io.netty.codec.memcache
  • io.netty.codec.mqtt
  • io.netty.codec.redis
  • io.netty.codec.smtp
  • io.netty.codec.socks
  • io.netty.codec.stomp
  • io.netty.codec.xml
  • io.netty.common
  • io.netty.handler
  • io.netty.handler.proxy
  • io.netty.resolver
  • io.netty.resolver.dns
  • io.netty.transport
  • io.netty.transport.epoll (native omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
  • io.netty.transport.kqueue (native omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
  • io.netty.transport.unix.common (native omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
  • io.netty.transport.rxtx
  • io.netty.transport.sctp
  • io.netty.transport.udt

Automatic modules do not provide any means to declare dependencies, so you need to list each used module separately in your module-info file.
