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.
