Trustin Lee ed6df98653 Introduce ThreadDeathWatcher
Motivation:

PooledByteBufAllocator's thread local cache and
ReferenceCountUtil.releaseLater() are in need of a way to run an
arbitrary logic when a certain thread is terminated.

Modifications:

- Add ThreadDeathWatcher, which spawns a low-priority daemon thread
  that watches a list of threads periodically (every second) and
  invokes the specified tasks when the associated threads are not alive
  anymore
  - Start-stop logic based on CAS operation proposed by @tea-dragon
- Add debug-level log messages to see if ThreadDeathWatcher works

Result:

- Fixes #2519 because we don't use GlobalEventExecutor anymore
- Cleaner code

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 major versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to its major version number. For example, the development of 3.x and 4.x resides in the branch '3' and the branch '4' respectively.
