This library wraps up low level access to
-
Maths Functions for casting types, rounding double, faster hashing.
-
Histogram A high performance wide range histogram.
-
JLBH Java Latency Benchmarking Harness.
The Jvm class in its static initialiser will load system properties from a file called system.properties
if it can find this file in the current directory.
This is a useful feature if you want to de-clutter your command line.
Chronicle Core class Jvm
loads the file system.properties
into the System’s properties.
To ensure it is loaded early enough, add the following code to your `Main
static {
Jvm.init();
}
The choice of file to load can be overridden on the command line with -Dsystem.properties=my.properties
See Jvm.Main
in the src/test
as an example.
This allows you to access native memory using primitives and some thread safe operations.
Memory memory = OS.memory();
long address = memory.allocate(1024);
try {
memory.writeInt(address, 1);
assert memory.readInt(address) == 1;
final boolean swapped = memory.compareAndSwapInt(address, 1, 2);
assert swapped;
assert memory.readInt(address) == 2;
} finally {
memory.freeMemory(address, 1024);
}
Check the JVM is running in debug mode
if (Jvm.isDebug()) {
// running in debug.
Rethrow a checked exception as an unchecked one.
try {
// IO operation
} catch (IOException ioe) {
throw Jvm.rethrow(ioe);
}
Get a Field for a Class by name
Field theUnsafe = Jvm.getField(Unsafe.class, "theUnsafe");
Unsafe unsafe = (Unsafe) theUnsafe.get(null);
Access to system calls
int processId = OS.getProcessId();
int maxProcessId = OS.getMaxProcessId();
int pageSize = OS.getPageSize();
boolean isWindows = OS.isWindows();
boolean is64bit = OS.is64Bit();
String hostname = OS.getHostName();
String username = OS.getUserName();
String targetDir = OS.getTarget(); // where is the target directory during builds.
Memory mapped files
FileChannel fc = new CleaningRandomAccessFile(fileName, "rw").getChannel();
// map in 64 KiB
long address = OS.map(fc, MapMode.READ_WRITE, 0, 64 << 10);
// use address
OS.memory().writeLong(1024L, 0x1234567890ABCDEFL);
// unmap memory region
OS.unmap(address, 64 << 10);
Component which are closeable or reference counted can be released deterministically without waiting for a GC.
A Closeable
resources has a simple lifecycle.
It is open when created, and cannot be used once closed.
public class AbstractCloseableTest {
@Test
public void close() {
MyCloseable mc = new MyCloseable();
assertFalse(mc.isClosed());
assertEquals(0, mc.performClose);
mc.throwExceptionIfClosed();
mc.close();
assertTrue(mc.isClosed());
assertEquals(1, mc.performClose);
mc.close();
assertTrue(mc.isClosed());
assertEquals(1, mc.performClose);
}
@Test(expected = IllegalStateException.class)
public void throwExceptionIfClosed() {
MyCloseable mc = new MyCloseable();
mc.close();
mc.throwExceptionIfClosed();
}
@Test
public void warnAndCloseIfNotClosed() {
Map<ExceptionKey, Integer> map = Jvm.recordExceptions();
MyCloseable mc = new MyCloseable();
mc.warnAndCloseIfNotClosed();
Jvm.resetExceptionHandlers();
assertEquals("Discarded without closing\n" +
"java.lang.IllegalStateException: net.openhft.chronicle.core.StackTrace: Created Here",
map.keySet().stream()
.map(e -> e.message + "\n" + e.throwable)
.collect(Collectors.joining(", ")));
}
static class MyCloseable extends AbstractCloseable {
int performClose;
@Override
protected void performClose() {
performClose++;
}
}
}
Use reference counting to deterministically release resources.
A reference counted resource can add reservations until closed.
public class AbstractReferenceCountedTest {
@Test
public void reserve() {
assertTrue(Jvm.isResourceTracing());
MyReferenceCounted rc = new MyReferenceCounted();
assertEquals(1, rc.refCount());
ReferenceOwner a = ReferenceOwner.temporary("a");
rc.reserve(a);
assertEquals(2, rc.refCount());
ReferenceOwner b = ReferenceOwner.temporary("b");
rc.reserve(b);
assertEquals(3, rc.refCount());
try {
rc.reserve(a);
fail();
} catch (IllegalStateException ignored) {
}
assertEquals(3, rc.refCount());
rc.release(b);
assertEquals(2, rc.refCount());
rc.release(a);
assertEquals(1, rc.refCount());
assertEquals(0, rc.performRelease);
rc.releaseLast();
assertEquals(0, rc.refCount());
assertEquals(1, rc.performRelease);
}
@Test
public void reserveWhenClosed() {
MyReferenceCounted rc = new MyReferenceCounted();
assertEquals(1, rc.refCount());
ReferenceOwner a = ReferenceOwner.temporary("a");
rc.reserve(a);
assertEquals(2, rc.refCount());
assertFalse(rc.isClosed());
rc.closeable.close();
assertEquals(2, rc.refCount());
assertTrue(rc.isClosed());
ReferenceOwner b = ReferenceOwner.temporary("b");
try {
rc.reserve(b);
fail();
} catch (IllegalStateException ignored) {
}
assertEquals(2, rc.refCount());
assertFalse(rc.tryReserve(b));
assertEquals(2, rc.refCount());
rc.release(a);
assertEquals(1, rc.refCount());
assertEquals(0, rc.performRelease);
rc.throwExceptionIfReleased();
rc.releaseLast();
assertEquals(0, rc.refCount());
assertEquals(1, rc.performRelease);
rc.throwExceptionBadResourceOwner();
try {
rc.throwExceptionIfClosed();
fail();
} catch (IllegalStateException ignored) {
}
try {
rc.throwExceptionIfReleased();
fail();
} catch (IllegalStateException ignored) {
}
}
@Test
public void throwExceptionBadResourceOwner() {
MyReferenceCounted rc = new MyReferenceCounted();
MyReferenceCounted rc2 = new MyReferenceCounted();
rc.reserve(rc2);
rc.throwExceptionBadResourceOwner();
rc2.closeable.close();
try {
rc.throwExceptionBadResourceOwner();
fail();
} catch (IllegalStateException ignored) {
}
rc.release(rc2);
rc.releaseLast();
}
@Test
public void throwExceptionIfClosed() {
MyReferenceCounted rc = new MyReferenceCounted();
rc.throwExceptionIfClosed();
rc.closeable.close();
try {

fail();
} catch (IllegalStateException ignored) {

}
static class MyReferenceCounted extends AbstractReferenceCounted {
final AbstractCloseable closeable;
int performRelease;
public MyReferenceCounted() {
this(new AbstractCloseableTest.MyCloseable());
}
public MyReferenceCounted(AbstractCloseable abstractCloseable) {
super(abstractCloseable);

}
@Override

}
}
MappedFile mf = MappedFile.mappedFile(tmp, chunkSize, 0);
MappedBytesStore bs = mf.acquireByteStore(chunkSize + (1 << 10));
assertEquals(2, mf.refCount());
assertEquals(3, bs.refCount());
assertEquals("refCount: 2, 0, 3", mf.referenceCounts());
mf.close();

There is String and Enum object pools to turn a CharSequence into a String.
Bytes b = Bytes.from("Hello World");
b.readSkip(6);
StringInterner si = new StringInterner(128);
String s = si.intern(b);
String s2 = si.intern(b);
assertEquals("World", s);
assertSame(s, s2);
Add caching of a data structure for each class using a lambda
public static final ClassLocal<EnumInterner> ENUM_INTERNER =
ClassLocal.withInitial(c -> new EnumInterner<>(c));
E enumValue = ENUM_INTERNER.get(enumClass).intern(stringBuilder);
Maths functions to support rounds
double a = 0.1;
double b = 0.3;
double c= Maths.round2(b - a); // 0.2 rounded to 2 decimal places
Checking type conversions
int i = Maths.toInt32(longValue);
There is a number of FunctionalInterfaces you can utilise as method arguments. This allows implicitly making a lambda Serializable.
// in KeyedVisitable
default <R> R applyToKey(K key, @NotNull SerializableFunction<E, R> function) {
// in code
String fullename = map.applyToKey("u:123223", u -> u.getFullName());
A high dynamic range histogram with tunable accuracy.
Histogram h = new Histogram(32, 4);
long start = instance.ticks(), prev = start;
for (int i = 0; i <= 1000_000_000; i++) {
long now = instance.ticks();
long time = now - prev;
h.sample(time);
prev = now;
}
System.out.println(h.toLongMicrosFormat(instance::toMicros));
