nickhill 9b95b8ee62 Reduce array allocations during CompositeByteBuf construction
Motivation:

Eliminate avoidable backing array reallocations when constructing
composite ByteBufs from existing buffer arrays/Iterables. This also
applies to the Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(...) methods.

Modifications:

Ensure the initial components ComponentList is sized at least as large
as the provided buffer array/Iterable in the CompositeByteBuffer
constructors.

In single-arg Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(...) methods, set maxNumComponents
to the count of provided buffers, rather than a fixed default of 16. It
seems likely that most usage of these involves wrapping a list without
subsequent modification, particularly since they return a ByteBuf rather
than CompositeByteBuf. If a different/larger max is required there are
already the wrappedBuffer(int, ...) variants.

In fact the current behaviour could be considered inconsistent - if you
call Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(int, ByteBuf) with a single buffer, you
might expect to subsequently be able to add buffers to it (since you
specified a max related to consolidation), but it will in fact return
just a slice of the provided ByteBuf.

Result:

Fewer and smaller allocations in some cases when using CompositeByteBufs
or Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(...).

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.
