Prior to this commit, if null values were supplied for the
RepeatableContainers or AnnotationFilter arguments to `from()` factory
methods in MergedAnnotations, certain operations would eventually
result in a NullPointerException. This is to be expected; however, the
NullPointerException is often swallowed and only logged at INFO level
with an exception message similar to the following.
> Failed to introspect annotations on org.example.MyClass: NullPointerException
In such cases, the INFO log message is not helpful in diagnosing the
problem. Furthermore, since the exception is swallowed, the desired
operation (e.g., MergedAnnotations.stream(...)) simply returns no
results.
This commit improves the user experience by eagerly asserting non-null
preconditions for required arguments in MergedAnnotations.from()
factory methods.

PR gh-25429 brought it to our attention that there was a bug in
AnnotationScanner when using a non-null class filter that filtered out
classes; however, it turns out that there is no production code that
utilizes the package-private class filtering support.
This commit therefore removes all class filtering support from
AnnotationScanner since that functionality is effectively unused.
Closes gh-25477
Prior to this commit, scanning for annotations resulted in an infinite
loop when using the INHERITED_ANNOTATIONS search strategy and a class
filter that filters out visited classes.
This commit avoids an infinite loop in AnnotationsScanner's
processClassInheritedAnnotations(...) method by skipping the current
level of the class hierarchy when the current source class has been
filtered out.
Closes gh-25429
Prior to this commit, a Profiles instance created via Profiles.of() was
not considered equivalent to another Profiles instance created via
Profiles.of() with the exact same expressions. This makes it difficult
to mock invocations of Environment#acceptsProfiles(Profiles) -- for
example, when using a mocking library such as Mockito.
This commit makes Profiles instances created via Profiles.of()
"comparable" by implementing equals() and hashCode() in ParsedProfiles.
Note, however, that equivalence is only guaranteed if the exact same
profile expression strings are supplied to Profiles.of(). In other
words, Profiles.of("A & B", "C | D") is equivalent to
Profiles.of("A & B", "C | D") and Profiles.of("C | D", "A & B"), but
Profiles.of("X & Y") is not equivalent to Profiles.of("X&Y") or
Profiles.of("Y & X").

Commit 4000b244ff introduced new variants for noNullElements in
org.springframework.util.Assert.
This commit adds the corresponding tests to AssertTests.
Closes gh-25239
Prior to this commit (and the previous one), the `AntPathStringMatcher`
(inner class of `AntPathmatcher`) would compile `Pattern` instances and
use regex matching even for static patterns such as `"/home"`.
This change introduces a shortcut in the string matcher algorithm to
skip the `Pattern` creation and uses `String` equality instead.
Static patterns are quite common in applications and this change can
bring performance improvements, depending on the mix of patterns
configured in the web application.
In benchmarks (added with this commit), we're seeing +20% throughput
and -40% allocation. This of course can vary depending on the number of
static patterns configured in the application.
Closes gh-24887
Prior to this commit, the loadFactoryNames() and loadFactories() methods
in SpringFactoriesLoader effectively used a different default
ClassLoader.
This commit ensures that the ClassLoader for SpringFactoriesLoader.class
is now consistently used as the default ClassLoader.
Closes gh-24992
Prior to this commit, SpringFactoriesLoader discovered all registered
factory implementations for a given factory type even if duplicates
were registered within a single META-INF/spring.factories file or in
multiple such files in the classpath.
This commit updates the internals of SpringFactoriesLoader so that
duplicate registrations are ignored, thereby aligning with the
well-known semantics for java.util.ServiceLoader in this regard.
Closes gh-24985
Commit 31fa1569c5 introduced initial support for avoiding unnecessary
annotation synthesis in the MergedAnnotation API; however, it only
avoided synthesis for annotations that do not declare any attributes.
This commit reworks this support to avoid unnecessary annotation
synthesis for annotations that declare attributes.
Specifically, this commit introduces a new `isSynthesizable()` method
in AnnotationTypeMapping that allows the "synthesizable" flag to be
computed once and cached along with the other metadata already cached
in AnnotationTypeMapping instances. TypeMappedAnnotation now delegates
to this new method when determining whether it should synthesize an
annotation.
Closes gh-24861
Prior to Spring Framework 5.2, some of our annotation utilities would
not synthesize an annotation if it was already synthesized or not
synthesizable (i.e., did not declare local aliases via @AliasFor and
did not declare attributes that could override attributes in the
meta-annotation hierarchy above the given annotation); however, we lost
most of this functionality with the introduction of the new
MergedAnnotations API.
This commit revises the implementation of createSynthesized() in
TypeMappedAnnotation so that, for invocations of
MergedAnnotation.synthesize() and indirectly for invocations of
AnnotatedElementUtils.findMergedAnnotation(), etc.:
1. An annotation that was previously synthesized will not be
synthesized again.
2. An annotation that is not "synthesizable" will not be synthesized.
For both of the above use cases, the original annotation is now
returned from createSynthesized().
