A data symbol marked with the <code>NOPTR</code> flag (see above)
is treated as containing no pointers to runtime-allocated data.
A data symbol with the <code>RODATA</code> flag
is allocated in read-only memory and is therefore treated
as implicitly marked <code>NOPTR</code>.
A data symbol with a total size smaller than a pointer
is also treated as implicitly marked <code>NOPTR</code>.

Here's a little bit of that history.

## Alternatives { #alternatives }

I have been creating APIs with complex requirements for several years (Machine Learning, distributed systems, asynchronous jobs, NoSQL databases, etc), leading several teams of developers.

As part of that, I needed to investigate, test and use many alternatives.

import jcifs.util.Encdec;

public class NdrBufferTest {

    private byte[] buffer;
    private NdrBuffer ndrBuffer;

    @BeforeEach
    void setUp() {
        buffer = new byte[1024]; // Initialize with a reasonable size
        ndrBuffer = new NdrBuffer(buffer, 0);
    }

    @Test
    void testConstructor() {
        // Verify initial state
        assertEquals(0, ndrBuffer.start);

        // Verify thread safety and performance
        assertTrue(exceptions.isEmpty(), "No exceptions should occur with thread-safe collections: " + exceptions);
        assertEquals(threadCount * operationsPerThread, treeOperations.get());
        assertTrue(avgOpTimeNs < 100000, "Tree operations should be reasonable with CopyOnWriteArrayList");

        session.release();
    }

    /**

    @Nested
    @DisplayName("Decode Method Tests")
    class DecodeMethodTests {

        @Test
        @DisplayName("Should decode buffer with typical values correctly")
        void shouldDecodeBufferWithTypicalValues() throws SMBProtocolDecodingException {
            // Given - prepare buffer with typical file system values
            ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(24);
            buffer.order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN);
