36 /**
37  * Provides a number of unsafe byte operations to be used by advanced applications with high
38  * performance requirements. These methods are referred to as "unsafe" due to the fact that they
39  * potentially expose the backing buffer of a {@link ByteString} to the application.
40  *
41  * <p><strong>DISCLAIMER:</strong> The methods in this class should only be called if it is
42  * guaranteed that the buffer backing the {@link ByteString} will never change! Mutation of a
43  * {@link ByteString} can lead to unexpected and undesirable consequences in your application,
44  * and will likely be difficult to debug. Proceed with caution!
45  *
46  * <p>This can have a number of significant side affects that have
47  * spooky-action-at-a-distance-like behavior. In particular, if the bytes value changes out from
48  * under a Protocol Buffer:
49  * <ul>
50  * <li>serialization may throw
51  * <li>serialization may succeed but the wrong bytes may be written out
52  * <li>messages are no longer threadsafe
53  * <li>hashCode may be incorrect
54  *   <ul>
55  *   <li>can result in a permanent memory leak when used as a key in a long-lived HashMap
56  *   <li> the semantics of many programs may be violated if this is the case
57  *   </ul>
58  * </ul>
59  * Each of these issues will occur in parts of the code base that are entirely distinct from the
60  * parts of the code base modifying the buffer. In fact, both parts of the code base may be correct
61  * - it is the bridging with the unsafe operations that was in error!
