Related issue: #2354 Motivation: AbstractConstant.compareTo() can return 0 even if the specified constant object is not the same instance with 'this'. Modifications: - Compare the identityHashCode of constant first. If that fails, allocate a small direct buffer and use its memory address as a unique value. If the platform does not provide a way to get the memory address of a direct buffer, use a thread-local random value. - Signal cannot extend AbstractConstant. Use delegation. Result: It is practically impossible for AbstractConstant.compareTo() to return 0 for different constant objects.

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
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.
