This pull request aims to fix some cases in LMDBJava where the
BufferProxy
'sout
method resulting buffer is ignored, especially inDbi
.I've discovered this issue while attempting to write a new implementation of
BufferProxy
to use Java 22's Function Foreign Memory API in preparation of Java 25's removal of various methods inUnsafe
invalidating most fastBufferProxy
implementations. The implementation failed to pass some tests since in theout
method I returned a newByteBuffer
(taking advantage ofMemorySegment.ofAddress().asByteBuffer()
).After further investigation, I've found that
ByteArrayProxy
also relies on returning a different "buffer" from the one that's given as an argument, for which I've added new tests that reproduce the behavior ofDbiTest.customComparator
andDbiTest.dbiWithComparatorThreadSafety
using byte arrays instead.ByteArrayProxy
led me to think that returning a different buffer inout
is an allowed and intended behavior.This fix is important for users of
ByteArrayProxy
and allows for a stop-gap external implementation ofBufferProxy
using the FFM API to allow users to upgrade to Java 25 when the time comes until a proper resolution to #42 comes around.
