// This class serves as a reference test for the bindings generator, and as example documentation
// for how to use the jni generator.
// The C++ counter-part is sample_for_tests.cc.
// jni_generator/BUILD.gn has a jni_generator_tests target that will:
//   * Generate a header file for the JNI bindings based on this file.
//   * Compile sample_for_tests.cc using the generated header file.
//   * link a native executable to prove the generated header + cc file are self-contained.
// All comments are informational only, and are ignored by the jni generator.
//
// Binding C/C++ with Java is not trivial, specially when ownership and object lifetime
// semantics needs to be managed across boundaries.
// Following a few guidelines will make the code simpler and less buggy:
//
// - Never write any JNI "by hand". Rely on the bindings generator to have a thin
// layer of type-safety.
//
// - Treat the types from the other side as "opaque" as possible. Do not inspect any
// object directly, but rather, rely on well-defined getters / setters.
//
// - Minimize the surface API between the two sides, and rather than calling multiple
// functions across boundaries, call only one (and then, internally in the other side,
// call as many little functions as required).
//
// - If a Java object "owns" a native object, stash the pointer in a "long mNativeClassName".
// Note that it needs to have a "destruction path", i.e., it must eventually call a method
// to delete the native object (for example, the java object has a "close()" method that
// in turn deletes the native object). Avoid relying on finalizers: those run in a different
// thread and makes the native lifetime management more difficult.
//
// - For native object "owning" java objects:
//   - If there's a strong 1:1 to relationship between native and java, the best way is to
//   stash the java object into a base::android::ScopedJavaGlobalRef. This will ensure the
//   java object can be GC'd once the native object is destroyed but note that this global strong
//   ref implies a new GC root, so be sure it will not leak and it must never rely on being
//   triggered (transitively) from a java side GC.
//   - In all other cases, the native side should keep a JavaObjectWeakGlobalRef, and check whether
//   that reference is still valid before de-referencing it. Note that you will need another
//   java-side object to be holding a strong reference to this java object while it is in use, to
//   avoid unpredictable GC of the object before native side has finished with it.
//
// - The best way to pass "compound" datatypes across in either direction is to create an inner
// class with PODs and a factory function. If possible, make it immutable (i.e., mark all the
// fields as "final"). See examples with "InnerStructB" below.
//
// - It's simpler to create thin wrappers with a well defined JNI interface than to
// expose a lot of internal details. This is specially significant for system classes where it's
// simpler to wrap factory methods and a few getters / setters than expose the entire class.
//
// - Use static factory functions annotated with @CalledByNative rather than calling the
// constructors directly.
//
// - Iterate over containers where they are originally owned, then create inner structs or
// directly call methods on the other side. It's much simpler than trying to amalgamate
// java and stl containers.
//
// An important note about qualified class name resolution:
// The generator doesn't compile the class and have little context about the
// classes being passed through the JNI layers. It adds a few simple rules:
//
// - all classes are either explicitly imported, or they are assumed to be in
// the same package.
//
// - Inner class needs to be done through an import and usage of the
// outer class, so that the generator knows how to qualify it:
// import foo.bar.Zoo;
// void call(Zoo.Inner);
//
// - implicitly imported classes aren't supported, so in order to pass
// things like Runnable, please import java.lang.Runnable;
//
// This JNINamespace annotation indicates that all native methods should be
// generated inside this namespace, including the native class that this
// object binds to.

    // This declares a C++ function which the application code must implement:
