Allow users of Netty to plug in their own leak detector for the purpose of instrumentation. Motivation: We are rolling out a large Netty deployment and want to be able to track the amount of leaks we're seeing in production via custom instrumentation. In order to achieve this today, I had to plug in a custom `ByteBufAllocator` into the bootstrap and have it initialize a custom `ResourceLeakDetector`. Due to these classes mostly being marked `final` or having private or static methods, a lot of the code had to be copy-pasted and it's quite ugly. Modifications: * I've added a static loader method for the `ResourceLeakDetector` in `AbstractByteBuf` that tries to instantiate the class passed in via the `-Dio.netty.customResourceLeakDetector`, otherwise falling back to the default one. * I've modified `ResourceLeakDetector` to be non-final and to have the reporting broken out in to methods that can be overridden. Result: You can instrument leaks in your application by just adding something like the following: ```java public class InstrumentedResourceLeakDetector<T> extends ResourceLeakDetector<T> { @Monitor("InstanceLeakCounter") private final AtomicInteger instancesLeakCounter; @Monitor("LeakCounter") private final AtomicInteger leakCounter; public InstrumentedResourceLeakDetector(Class<T> resource) { super(resource); this.instancesLeakCounter = new AtomicInteger(); this.leakCounter = new AtomicInteger(); } @Override protected void reportTracedLeak(String records) { super.reportTracedLeak(records); leakCounter.incrementAndGet(); } @Override protected void reportUntracedLeak() { super.reportUntracedLeak(); leakCounter.incrementAndGet(); } @Override protected void reportInstancesLeak() { super.reportInstancesLeak(); instancesLeakCounter.incrementAndGet(); } } ``` |

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:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
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.
