When handling network buffers in protocol implementations, ensure proper lifecycle management to prevent memory leaks and data corruption. Key practices:
When handling network buffers in protocol implementations, ensure proper lifecycle management to prevent memory leaks and data corruption. Key practices:
// RIGHT String eventStr = String.valueOf(evt); ctx.fireUserEventTriggered(evt); event.userEvent = eventStr;
2. Use buffer slicing and reference counting for partial data:
```java
// WRONG
byte[] partialData = new byte[5];
System.arraycopy(data, 0, partialData, 0, 5);
// RIGHT
ByteBuf chunk = ctx.alloc().buffer().writeBytes(data);
ByteBuf partial = chunk.retainedSlice(0, 5);
// ... use partial ...
partial.release();
chunk.release();
// After buffer submission
iovArray.clear(); // Clear references that are no longer needed
This guidance is especially important in asynchronous networking code where buffers may be accessed across different threads or event loop iterations.
