Deallocate direct NIO buffers

[Julien Gouesse]

Vladimir,
How can I use java.lang.ref.Cleaner with a direct ByteBuffer? I assume that this kind of buffer still uses jdk.internal.ref.Cleaner internally, I wanted to use this cleaner.

 Julien,

There is a public API replacement for sun.misc.Cleaner in 9: 
java.lang.ref.Cleaner [1]

Best regards,

I could use a NativeScope in a source code compatible with Java 1.9 and later but I need to find a solution working both with Java 1.8 and Java 1.9. Christoph Engelbert mentioned the class AutoCleaning here:http://www.slideshare.net/ChristophEngelbert/a-postapocalyptic-sunmiscunsafe-world#94What is the right way to release the native memory allocated by a direct NIO buffer without using any internal API in Java 1.9 and later? I need an explicit mechanism that calls Cleaner.clean() somehow. In which package can I find the class AutoCleaning? Best regards.
