Summary

Address code review feedback from PR #5 with documentation improvements and enhanced error messages.

Changes

  1. Fix misleading recompile() javadoc (ComputeKernel.java:86-91)

    • Clarify that old kernel resources are released immediately during recompilation
    • Was incorrectly stating old kernel reference remains valid until explicitly closed
    • Now accurately documents the implementation behavior
  2. Add thread safety documentation (ComputeKernel.java:93-96)

    • Document that isCompiled() may briefly return false during recompilation
    • Warn that concurrent execution from other threads will fail with IllegalStateException
    • Specify requirement for exclusive access during recompilation
  3. Enhance error message (OpenCLKernel.java:92-93)

    • Suggest using recompile() when attempting double compilation
    • Guides users to the correct API for runtime kernel optimization
  4. Add security documentation (ComputeKernel.java:57-59)

    • Document that build options are passed directly to compiler without sanitization
    • Warn callers to ensure options come from trusted sources only
    • Clarify backend compiler validation behavior
  5. Simplify logging (OpenCLKernel.java:154-155)

    • Consolidated conditional logging into single statement
    • Uses ternary operator for cleaner code, same output
  6. Add test documentation (ComputeKernelBuildOptionsTest.java)

    • Added javadoc to key test methods explaining their purpose:
      • testCompileWithDefine - preprocessor defines validation
      • testCompileWithCompilerFlags - performance optimization flags
      • testRecompileChangesDefineValue - auto-tuning workflow

Code Quality

  • ✅ All improvements are documentation/messaging only - no functional changes
  • ✅ No test failures
  • ✅ Addresses all high and medium priority feedback items from code review
