PlatformDependent (Netty API Reference (4.1.116.Final))

java.lang.Object
- io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent

```
public final class PlatformDependent
extends Object
```
Utility that detects various properties specific to the current runtime environment, such as Java version and the availability of the sun.misc.Unsafe object.
You can disable the use of sun.misc.Unsafe if you specify the system property io.netty.noUnsafe.

Parameters:

bytes1 - the first byte array.

startPos1 - the position (inclusive) to start comparing in bytes1.

bytes2 - the second byte array.

startPos2 - the position (inclusive) to start comparing in bytes2.

length - the amount of bytes to compare. This is assumed to be validated as not going out of bounds by the caller.

```
Compare two byte arrays for equality without leaking timing information. For performance reasons no bounds checking on the parameters is performed.
The int return type is intentional and is designed to allow cascading of constant time operations:
```
     byte[] s1 = new {1, 2, 3};
     byte[] s2 = new {1, 2, 3};
     byte[] s3 = new {1, 2, 3};
     byte[] s4 = new {4, 5, 6};
     boolean equals = (equalsConstantTime(s1, 0, s2, 0, s1.length) &
                       equalsConstantTime(s3, 0, s4, 0, s3.length)) != 0;
 
```
Parameters:

bytes1 - the first byte array.

startPos1 - the position (inclusive) to start comparing in bytes1.

bytes2 - the second byte array.

startPos2 - the position (inclusive) to start comparing in bytes2.

length - the amount of bytes to compare. This is assumed to be validated as not going out of bounds by the caller.

Returns:

0 if not equal. 1 if equal.

public static <T> Queue<T> newFixedMpscQueue(int capacity)
```
Create a new Queue which is safe to use for multiple producers (different threads) and a single consumer (one thread!) with the given fixes capacity.

newFixedMpscUnpaddedQueue
```
public static <T> Queue<T> newFixedMpscUnpaddedQueue(int capacity)
```
Create a new un-padded Queue which is safe to use for multiple producers (different threads) and a single consumer (one thread!) with the given fixes capacity.
This should be preferred to newFixedMpscQueue(int) when the queue is not to be heavily contended.

newFixedMpmcQueue
```
public static <T> Queue<T> newFixedMpmcQueue(int capacity)
```
Create a new Queue which is safe to use for multiple producers (different threads) and multiple consumers with the given fixes capacity.

getClassLoader

public static ClassLoader getClassLoader(Class<?> clazz)

Return the ClassLoader for the given Class.

getContextClassLoader
```
public static ClassLoader getContextClassLoader()
```
Return the context ClassLoader for the current Thread.

getSystemClassLoader

public static ClassLoader getSystemClassLoader()

Return the system ClassLoader.

newConcurrentDeque

public static <C> Deque<C> newConcurrentDeque()

Returns a new concurrent Deque.

threadLocalRandom
```
public static Random threadLocalRandom()
```
Return a Random which is not-threadsafe and so can only be used from the same thread.

isJ9Jvm
```
public static boolean isJ9Jvm()
```
Returns true if the running JVM is either IBM J9 or Eclipse OpenJ9, false otherwise.

isIkvmDotNet
```
public static boolean isIkvmDotNet()
```
Returns true if the running JVM is IKVM.NET, false otherwise.

estimateMaxDirectMemory
```
public static long estimateMaxDirectMemory()
```
Compute an estimate of the maximum amount of direct memory available to this JVM.
The computation is not cached, so you probably want to use maxDirectMemory() instead.
This will produce debug log output when called.

Returns:

The estimated max direct memory, in bytes.

normalizedArch
```
public static String normalizedArch()
```

normalizedOs
```
public static String normalizedOs()
```

normalizedLinuxClassifiers

public static Set<String> normalizedLinuxClassifiers()

public static File createTempFile(String prefix,
                                  String suffix,
                                  File directory)
                           throws IOException
