/// FFI-compatible JNIEnv struct. You can safely use this as the JNIEnv argument
/// to exported methods that will be called by java. This is where most of the
/// magic happens. All methods on this object are wrappers around JNI functions,
/// so the documentation on their behavior is still pretty applicable.
///
/// # Exception handling
///
/// Since we're calling into the JVM with this, many methods also have the
/// potential to cause an exception to get thrown. If this is the case, an `Err`
/// result will be returned with the error kind `JavaException`. Note that this
/// will _not_ clear the exception - it's up to the caller to decide whether to
/// do so or to let it continue being thrown.
///
/// # References and Lifetimes
///
/// As in C JNI, interactions with Java objects happen through <dfn>references</dfn>, either local
/// or global, represented by [`JObject`] and [`GlobalRef`] respectively. So long as there is at
/// least one such reference to a Java object, the JVM garbage collector will not reclaim it.
///
/// <dfn>Global references</dfn> exist until deleted. Deletion occurs when the `GlobalRef` is
/// dropped.
///
/// <dfn>Local references</dfn> belong to a local reference frame, and exist until
/// [deleted][JNIEnv::delete_local_ref] or until the local reference frame is exited. A <dfn>local
/// reference frame</dfn> is entered when a native method is called from Java, or when Rust code
/// does so explicitly using [`JNIEnv::with_local_frame`]. That local reference frame is exited
/// when the native method or `with_local_frame` returns. When a local reference frame is exited,
/// all local references created inside it are deleted.
///
/// Unlike C JNI, this crate creates a separate `JNIEnv` for each local reference frame. The
/// associated Rust lifetime `'local` represents that local reference frame. Rust's borrow checker
/// will ensure that local references are not used after their local reference frame exits (which
/// would cause undefined behavior).
///
/// Unlike global references, local references are not deleted when dropped by default. This is for
/// performance: it is faster for the JVM to delete all of the local references in a frame all at
/// once, than to delete each local reference one at a time. However, this can cause a memory leak
/// if the local reference frame remains entered for a long time, such as a long-lasting loop, in
/// which case local references should be deleted explicitly. Local references can be deleted when
/// dropped if desired; use [`JNIEnv::auto_local`] to arrange that.
///
/// ## Lifetime Names
///
/// This crate uses the following convention for lifetime names:
///
/// * `'local` is the lifetime of a local reference frame, as described above.
///
/// * `'other_local`, `'other_local_1`, and `'other_local_2` are the lifetimes of some other local
///   reference frame, which may be but doesn't have to be the same as `'local`. For example,
///   [`JNIEnv::new_local_ref`] accepts a local reference in any local reference frame
///   `'other_local` and creates a new local reference to the same object in `'local`.
///
/// * `'obj_ref` is the lifetime of a borrow of a JNI reference, like <code>&amp;[JObject]</code>
///   or <code>&amp;[GlobalRef]</code>. For example, [`JNIEnv::get_list`] constructs a new
///   [`JList`] that borrows a `&'obj_ref JObject`.
///
/// ## `null` Java references
/// `null` Java references are handled by the following rules:
///   - If a `null` Java reference is passed to a method that expects a non-`null`
///   argument, an `Err` result with the kind `NullPtr` is returned.
///   - If a JNI function returns `null` to indicate an error (e.g. `new_int_array`),
///     it is converted to `Err`/`NullPtr` or, where possible, to a more applicable
///     error type, such as `MethodNotFound`. If the JNI function also throws
///     an exception, the `JavaException` error kind will be preferred.
///   - If a JNI function may return `null` Java reference as one of possible reference
///     values (e.g., `get_object_array_element` or `get_field_unchecked`),
///     it is converted to `JObject::null()`.
///
/// # `&self` and `&mut self`
///
/// Most of the methods on this type take a `&mut self` reference, specifically all methods that
/// can enter a new local reference frame. This includes anything that might invoke user-defined
/// Java code, which can indirectly enter a new local reference frame by calling a native method.
///
/// The reason for this restriction is to ensure that a `JNIEnv` instance can only be used in the
/// local reference frame that it belongs to. This, in turn, ensures that it is not possible to
/// create [`JObject`]s with the lifetime of a different local reference frame, which would lead to
/// undefined behavior. (See [issue #392] for background discussion.)
///
/// [issue #392]: https://github.com/jni-rs/jni-rs/issues/392
///
/// ## `cannot borrow as mutable`
///
/// If a function takes two or more parameters, one of them is `JNIEnv`, and another is something
/// returned by a `JNIEnv` method (like [`JObject`]), then calls to that function may not compile:
///
/// ```rust,compile_fail
/// # use jni::{errors::Result, JNIEnv, objects::*};
/// #
/// # fn f(env: &mut JNIEnv) -> Result<()> {
/// fn example_function(
///     env: &mut JNIEnv,
///     obj: &JObject,
/// ) {
///     // …
/// }
///
/// example_function(
///     env,
///     // ERROR: cannot borrow `*env` as mutable more than once at a time
///     &env.new_object(
///         "com/example/SomeClass",
///         "()V",
///         &[],
///     )?,
/// )
/// # ; Ok(())
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// To fix this, the `JNIEnv` parameter needs to come *last*:
///
/// ```rust,no_run
/// # use jni::{errors::Result, JNIEnv, objects::*};
/// #
/// # fn f(env: &mut JNIEnv) -> Result<()> {
/// fn example_function(
///     obj: &JObject,
///     env: &mut JNIEnv,
/// ) {
///     // …
/// }
///
/// example_function(
///     &env.new_object(
///         "com/example/SomeClass",
///         "()V",
///         &[],
///     )?,
///     env,
/// )
/// # ; Ok(())
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// # Checked and unchecked methods
///
/// Some of the methods come in two versions: checked (e.g. `call_method`) and
/// unchecked (e.g. `call_method_unchecked`). Under the hood, checked methods
/// perform some checks to ensure the validity of provided signatures, names
/// and arguments, and then call the corresponding unchecked method.
///
/// Checked methods are more flexible as they allow passing class names
/// and method/field descriptors as strings and may perform lookups
/// of class objects and method/field ids for you, also performing
/// all the needed precondition checks. However, these lookup operations
/// are expensive, so if you need to call the same method (or access
/// the same field) multiple times, it is
/// [recommended](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/specs/jni/design.html#accessing-fields-and-methods)
/// to cache the instance of the class and the method/field id, e.g.
///   - in loops
///   - when calling the same Java callback repeatedly.
///
/// If you do not cache references to classes and method/field ids,
/// you will *not* benefit from the unchecked methods.
///
/// Calling unchecked methods with invalid arguments and/or invalid class and
/// method descriptors may lead to segmentation fault.
