Nick Hill 9f2221ebd4 CompositeByteBuf optimizations and new addFlattenedComponents method (#8939)
Motivation:

The CompositeByteBuf discardReadBytes / discardReadComponents methods are currently quite inefficient, including when there are no read components to discard. We would like to call the latter more frequently in ByteToMessageDecoder#COMPOSITE_CUMULATOR.

In the same context it would be beneficial to perform a "shallow copy" of a composite buffer (for example when it has a refcount > 1) to avoid having to allocate and copy the contained bytes just to obtain an "independent" cumulation.

Modifications:

- Optimize discardReadBytes() and discardReadComponents() implementations (start at first comp rather than performing a binary search for the readerIndex).
- New addFlattenedComponents(boolean,ByteBuf) method which performs a shallow copy if the provided buffer is also composite and avoids adding any empty buffers, plus unit test.
- Other minor optimizations to avoid unnecessary checks.

Results:

discardReadXX methods are faster, composite buffers can be easily appended without deepening the buffer "tree" or retaining unused components.

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.
