Upgrade to java 14 and JEP 370: Foreign-Memory Access API?

Open hrstoyanov opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

dokan-java is already requiring Java 11 at a minimum. But Java 14 adds powerful new native memory access API via JEP 370: Foreign-Memory Access API. So, It might be interesting to create a new branch/version and experiment with replacing (portion of) JNA with the new APIs in Java 14.

Sounds definitely interesting. This can be done in a feature/experimental branch. But this will only be merged into main if this feature has lost its incubator status. And there is also project panama of the openjdk, which also sounds worth investigating

Currently there isn't even any relase target given in gradle (should be 11).

JEP 370: Foreign-Memory Access API is one piece of Panama, that seems kind of stable, almost ready for inclusion in Java 15 or 16
