ProGuard rules for this library

[chintan-mishra]

In an Android app, we are fetching MsgPack from our API. What are the recommended ProGuard rules to use with this library?

We are not using ProGuard, so we don't have recommended rules now.

What I can say is when renaming packages, you will also need to rename package name strings here:

msgpack-java/msgpack-core/src/main/java/org/msgpack/core/buffer/MessageBuffer.java

Lines 62 to 64 in 1447f8f

	private static final String UNIVERSAL_MESSAGE_BUFFER = "org.msgpack.core.buffer.MessageBufferU";
	private static final String BIGENDIAN_MESSAGE_BUFFER = "org.msgpack.core.buffer.MessageBufferBE";
	private static final String DEFAULT_MESSAGE_BUFFER = "org.msgpack.core.buffer.MessageBuffer";

Because msgpack-java uses reflection to load one of the MessageBuffer classes appropriate for each platform.

-keepclassmembers class * {
    @org.msgpack.core.buffer.MessageBufferU <methods>;
    @org.msgpack.core.buffer.MessageBufferBE <methods>;
    @org.msgpack.core.buffer.MessageBuffer <methods>;
}

Based on my knowledge ProGuard rules mentioned above should suffice. I will test these when next release rolls out in 3 weeks.

An unexpected delay will need 2 weeks or so.

No worries. Take your time.

-keepclassmembers class * {
    @org.msgpack.core.buffer.MessageBufferU <methods>;
    @org.msgpack.core.buffer.MessageBufferBE <methods>;
    @org.msgpack.core.buffer.MessageBuffer <methods>;
}

Based on my knowledge ProGuard rules mentioned above should suffice. I will test these when next release rolls out in 3 weeks.

sad，it does not work。
i modify like this，it works . (ubuntu14.04 mmm packages/app/settings) :

-keep class org.msgpack.core.buffer.MessageBuffer {;}
-keep class org.msgpack.core.buffer.MessageBufferBE {;}
-keep class org.msgpack.core.buffer.MessageBufferU {*;}

@keyguansz IIRC then the new rules are leaving the packages as they were. If I get time this weekend then maybe I will try to figure out more specific rules.
