↳ | java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater<T, V> |
A reflection-based utility that enables atomic updates to
designated volatile
reference fields of designated
classes. This class is designed for use in atomic data structures
in which several reference fields of the same node are
independently subject to atomic updates. For example, a tree node
might be declared as
class Node {
private volatile Node left, right;
private static final AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater leftUpdater =
AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater.newUpdater(Node.class, Node.class, "left");
private static AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater rightUpdater =
AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater.newUpdater(Node.class, Node.class, "right");
Node getLeft() { return left;
boolean compareAndSetLeft(Node expect, Node update) {
return leftUpdater.compareAndSet(this, expect, update);
}
// ... and so on
}}
Note that the guarantees of the compareAndSet
method in this class are weaker than in other atomic classes.
Because this class cannot ensure that all uses of the field
are appropriate for purposes of atomic access, it can
guarantee atomicity only with respect to other invocations of
compareAndSet
and set
on the same updater.

Protected do-nothing constructor for use by subclasses.
Atomically sets the field of the given object managed by this updater
to the given updated value if the current value ==
the
expected value. This method is guaranteed to be atomic with respect to
other calls to compareAndSet
and set
, but not
necessarily with respect to other changes in the field.
obj | An object whose field to conditionally set |
---|---|
expect | the expected value |
update | the new value |
Gets the current value held in the field of the given object managed by this updater.
obj | An object whose field to get |
---|
Atomically sets the field of the given object managed by this updater to the given value and returns the old value.
obj | An object whose field to get and set |
---|---|
newValue | the new value |
Eventually sets the field of the given object managed by this updater to the given updated value.
obj | An object whose field to set |
---|---|
newValue | the new value |
Creates and returns an updater for objects with the given field. The Class arguments are needed to check that reflective types and generic types match.
tclass | the class of the objects holding the field |
---|---|
vclass | the class of the field |
fieldName | the name of the field to be updated |
IllegalArgumentException | if the field is not a volatile reference type |
---|---|
RuntimeException | with a nested reflection-based exception if the class does not hold field or is the wrong type, or the field is inaccessible to the caller according to Java language access control |
Sets the field of the given object managed by this updater to the
given updated value. This operation is guaranteed to act as a volatile
store with respect to subsequent invocations of compareAndSet
.
obj | An object whose field to set |
---|---|
newValue | the new value |
Atomically sets the field of the given object managed by this updater
to the given updated value if the current value ==
the
expected value. This method is guaranteed to be atomic with respect to
other calls to compareAndSet
and set
, but not
necessarily with respect to other changes in the field.
May fail
spuriously and does not provide ordering guarantees, so is
only rarely an appropriate alternative to compareAndSet
.
