Class Native

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Version


    public final class Native
    extends Object
    implements Version
    Provides generation of invocation plumbing for a defined native library interface. Also provides various utilities for native operations.

    getTypeMapper(java.lang.Class<?>) and getStructureAlignment(java.lang.Class<?>) are provided to avoid having to explicitly pass these parameters to Structures, which would require every Structure which requires custom mapping or alignment to define a constructor and pass parameters to the superclass. To avoid lots of boilerplate, the base Structure constructor figures out these properties based on its enclosing interface.

    Library Loading

    When JNA classes are loaded, the native shared library (jnidispatch) is loaded as well. An attempt is made to load it from the any paths defined in jna.boot.library.path (if defined), then the system library path using System.loadLibrary(java.lang.String), unless jna.nosys=true. If not found, the appropriate library will be extracted from the class path (into a temporary directory if found within a jar file) and loaded from there, unless jna.noclasspath=true. If your system has additional security constraints regarding execution or load of files (SELinux, for example), you should probably install the native library in an accessible location and configure your system accordingly, rather than relying on JNA to extract the library from its own jar file.

    To avoid the automatic unpacking (in situations where you want to force a failure if the JNA native library is not properly installed on the system), set the system property jna.nounpack=true.

    While this class and its corresponding native library are loaded, the system property jna.loaded will be set. The property will be cleared when native support has been unloaded (i.e. the Native class and its underlying native support has been GC'd).

    NOTE: all native functions are provided within this class to ensure that all other JNA-provided classes and objects are GC'd and/or finalized/disposed before this class is disposed and/or removed from memory (most notably Memory and any other class which by default frees its resources in a finalizer).

    Native Library Loading

    Native libraries loaded via loadLibrary(Class) may be found in several locations.

        Deprecated. 
      • isCompatibleVersion

        static boolean isCompatibleVersion(String expectedVersion,
                                           String nativeVersion)
        Version string must have the structure .. a bugfix change in the native code increments revision, the minor is incremented for backwards compatible changes and the major version is changed for backwards incompatbile changes.
        Parameters:
        expectedVersion -
        nativeVersion -
        Returns:
        true if nativeVersion describes a version compatible to expectedVersion
      • deleteLibrary

        static boolean deleteLibrary(File lib)
        Remove any automatically unpacked native library. This will fail on windows, which disallows removal of any file that is still in use, so an alternative is required in that case. Mark the file that could not be deleted, and attempt to delete any temporaries on next startup. Do NOT force the class loader to unload the native library, since that introduces issues with cleaning up any extant JNA bits (e.g. Memory) which may still need use of the library before shutdown.
      • setProtected

        public static void setProtected(boolean enable)
        Set whether native memory accesses are protected from invalid accesses. This should only be set true when testing or debugging, and should not be considered reliable or robust for applications where JNA native calls are occurring on multiple threads. Protected mode will be automatically set if the system property jna.protected has a value of "true" when the JNA library is first loaded.

        If not supported by the underlying platform, this setting will have no effect.

        NOTE: On platforms which support signals (non-Windows), JNA uses signals to trap errors. This may interfere with the JVM's own use of signals. When protected mode is enabled, you should make use of the jsig library, if available (see Signal Chaining). In short, set the environment variable LD_PRELOAD to the path to libjsig.so in your JRE lib directory (usually ${java.home}/lib/${os.arch}/libjsig.so) before launching your Java application.

      • isProtected

        public static boolean isProtected()
        Returns whether protection is enabled. Check the result of this method after calling setProtected(true) to determine if this platform supports protecting memory accesses.

      • getLastError

        public static int getLastError()
        Retrieve last error set by the OS. This corresponds to GetLastError() on Windows, and errno on most other platforms. The value is preserved per-thread, but whether the original value is per-thread depends on the underlying OS.

        An alternative method of obtaining the last error result is to declare your mapped method to throw LastErrorException instead. If a method's signature includes a throw of LastErrorException, the last error will be set to zero before the native call and a LastErrorException will be raised if the last error value is non-zero after the call, regardless of the actual returned value from the native function.

      • setLastError

        public static void setLastError(int code)
        Set the OS last error code. The value will be saved on a per-thread basis.

        public static Library synchronizedLibrary(Library library)
        Returns a synchronized (thread-safe) library backed by the specified library. This wrapping will prevent simultaneous invocations of any functions mapped to a given NativeLibrary. Note that the native library may still be sensitive to being called from different threads.

        Parameters:
        library - the library to be "wrapped" in a synchronized library.
        Returns:
        a synchronized view of the specified library.
      • getWebStartLibraryPath

        public static String getWebStartLibraryPath(String libName)
        If running web start, determine the location of a given native library. This value may be used to properly set jna.library.path so that JNA can load libraries identified by the <nativelib> tag in the JNLP configuration file. Returns null if the Web Start native library cache location can not be determined. Note that the path returned may be different for any given library name.

        Use System.getProperty("javawebstart.version") to detect whether your code is running under Web Start.

        Returns:
        null if unable to query the web start loader.
        Throws:
        UnsatisfiedLinkError - if the library can't be found by the Web Start class loader, which usually means it wasn't included as a <nativelib> resource in the JNLP file.

        public static long malloc(long size)
        Call the real native malloc
        Parameters:
        size - size of the memory to be allocated
        Returns:
        native address of the allocated memory block; zero if the allocation failed.
      • free

        public static void free(long ptr)
        Call the real native free
        Parameters:
        ptr - native address to be freed; a value of zero has no effect, passing an already-freed pointer will cause pain.

        Deprecated. Use Pointer.getByteBuffer(long, long) (since 4.3.0)
        Get a direct ByteBuffer mapped to the memory pointed to by the pointer. This method calls through to the JNA NewDirectByteBuffer method.
        Parameters:
        addr - base address of the JNA-originated memory
        length - Length of ByteBuffer
        Returns:
        a direct ByteBuffer that accesses the memory being pointed to
      • detach

        public static void detach(boolean detach)

        Indicate whether the JVM should detach the current native thread when the current Java code finishes execution. Generally this is used to avoid detaching native threads when it is known that a given thread will be relatively long-lived and call back to Java code frequently.

        This call is lightweight; it only results in an additional JNI crossing if the desired state changes from its last setting.
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if detach(true) is called on a thread created by the JVM.
