This pull request aims to fix some cases in LMDBJava where the
BufferProxy'soutmethod resulting buffer is ignored, especially inDbi.I've discovered this issue while attempting to write a new implementation of
BufferProxyto use Java 22's Function Foreign Memory API in preparation of Java 25's depreciation of various methods inUnsafeinvalidating most fastBufferProxyimplementations. The implementation failed to pass some tests since in theoutmethod I returned a newByteBuffer(taking advantage ofMemorySegment.ofAddress().asByteBuffer()).After further investigation, I've found that
ByteArrayProxyalso 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.customComparatorandDbiTest.dbiWithComparatorThreadSafetyusing byte arrays instead.ByteArrayProxyled me to think that returning a different buffer inoutis an allowed and intended behavior.This fix is important for users of
ByteArrayProxyand allows for a stop-gap external implementation ofBufferProxyusing the FFM API to allow users to upgrade to Java 25 when the time comes until a proper resolution to #42 comes around.
