Previously, I used a shell script to extract modification date ranges
from the Git history, but that was complicated and unreliable, so now
every file just gets the same year range in its copyright header. If
someone needs to know when a specific file was modified and by whom,
they can look at the Git history themselves; no need to include it
redundantly in the header.
In java-nio.cpp, we can't use GetPrimitiveArrayCritical when reading
from or writing to blocking sockets since it may block the rest of the
VM indefinitely.
In SelectableChannel.java, we can't use a null test on
SelectableChannel.key to determine whether the channel is open since
it might never be registered with a Selector. According to the Sun
documentation, a SelectableChannel is open as soon as it's created, so
that's what we now implement.
and server socket channels are implemented. This version works but only when
libnative is linked with g++ (because of C++ object creation code that fails
without this linking)
