Norman Maurer 2b401d4587 Make sure cancelled Timeouts are able to be GC'ed fast.
Motivation:
At the moment the HashedWheelTimer will only remove the cancelled Timeouts once the HashedWheelBucket is processed again. Until this the instance will not be able to be GC'ed as there are still strong referenced to it even if the user not reference it by himself/herself. This can cause to waste a lot of memory even if the Timeout was cancelled before.

Modification:
Add a new queue which holds CancelTasks that will be processed on each tick to remove cancelled Timeouts. Because all of this is done only by the WorkerThread there is no need for synchronization and only one extra object creation is needed when cancel() is executed. For addTimeout(...) no new overhead is introduced.

Result:
Less memory usage for cancelled Timeouts.

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

The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other 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.
