This is a fork of jhg023's Pbbl library tweaked for use in Arena Returns server engine.

Pbbl (pr. pebble, pɛbəl)

A thread-safe Buffer pool that allows for the automatic reuse of Buffer objects (including ByteBuffer, CharBuffer, etc.), which can be over 30x faster than having to allocate a new Buffer.

Maven/Gradle Dependency

1. Add Pbbl as a dependency using either Maven or Gradle:

Maven:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.arenareturns</groupId>
<artifactId>Pbbl</artifactId>
<version>1.0.3</version>
</dependency>

Gradle:

implementation 'com.arenareturns:Pbbl:1.0.3'

2. Because Pbbl is compiled with Java 11, you must require its module in your module-info.java:

modulemy.project {
requirescom.arenareturns.pbbl;
}

Example(s)

1. Create ByteBufferPool and manually close it:

// Create a ByteBufferPool (used to pool non-direct ByteBuffer objects).varpool = newByteBufferPool();
// Take a non-direct ByteBuffer (with 8 available bytes) from the pool.// If the pool is empty, a new ByteBuffer will be created.varbuffer = pool.take(Long.BYTES);
// Do something with the ByteBuffer.vararray = buffer.putLong(42).array();
// Give the ByteBuffer back to the pool for re-use.pool.give(buffer);
// Close the pool when finished.pool.close();

2. Create DirectFloatBufferPool and automatically close it:

// Create a DirectFloatBufferPool (used to pool direct FloatBuffer objects).try (varpool = newDirectFloatBufferPool()) {
// Take a direct FloatBuffer (with 8 available floats) from the pool.FloatBufferbuffer = pool.take(8);
// Do something with the FloatBuffer.buffer.put(42f);
// Give the FloatBuffer back to the pool for re-use.pool.give(buffer);
