AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater
extends Object
java.lang.Object | |
↳ | 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<Node, Node> leftUpdater =
AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater.newUpdater(Node.class, Node.class, "left");
private static AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater<Node, Node> 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.

AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater ()
Protected do-nothing constructor for use by subclasses.
V accumulateAndGet (T obj, V x, BinaryOperator<V> accumulatorFunction)
Atomically updates the field of the given object managed by this updater with the results of applying the given function to the current and given values, returning the updated value. The function should be side-effect-free, since it may be re-applied when attempted updates fail due to contention among threads. The function is applied with the current value as its first argument, and the given update as the second argument.
Parameters | |
---|---|
obj |
T :
An object whose field to get and set |
x |
V :
the update value |
accumulatorFunction |
BinaryOperator :
a side-effect-free function of two arguments |
Returns | |
---|---|
V |
the updated value |
boolean compareAndSet (T obj, V expect, V update)
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.
Parameters | |
---|---|
obj |
T :
An object whose field to conditionally set |
expect |
V :
the expected value |
update |
V :
the new value |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if successful
|
V get (T obj)
Gets the current value held in the field of the given object managed by this updater.
Parameters | |
---|---|
obj |
T :
An object whose field to get |
Returns | |
---|---|
V |
the current value |
V getAndAccumulate (T obj, V x, BinaryOperator<V> accumulatorFunction)
Atomically updates the field of the given object managed by this updater with the results of applying the given function to the current and given values, returning the previous value. The function should be side-effect-free, since it may be re-applied when attempted updates fail due to contention among threads. The function is applied with the current value as its first argument, and the given update as the second argument.
Parameters | |

V getAndUpdate (T obj, UnaryOperator<V> updateFunction)
Atomically updates the field of the given object managed by this updater with the results of applying the given function, returning the previous value. The function should be side-effect-free, since it may be re-applied when attempted updates fail due to contention among threads.

void lazySet (T obj, V newValue)

newValue |
V :

AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater<U, W> newUpdater (Class<U> tclass, Class<W> vclass, String fieldName)
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.
Parameters | |

tclass |
Class :
the class of the objects holding the field |
vclass |
Class :

fieldName |
String :

AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater<U, W> |
the updater |
Throws | |
---|---|
ClassCastException |
if the field is of the wrong type |
IllegalArgumentException |
if the field is not volatile |
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 |
void set (T obj, V newValue)
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
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
obj |
T :
An object whose field to set |
newValue |
V :
the new value
|
V updateAndGet (T obj, UnaryOperator<V> updateFunction)
Atomically updates the field of the given object managed by this updater with the results of applying the given function, returning the updated value. The function should be side-effect-free, since it may be re-applied when attempted updates fail due to contention among threads.
Parameters | |
---|---|
obj |
T :
An object whose field to get and set |
updateFunction |
UnaryOperator :

boolean weakCompareAndSet (T obj, V expect, V update)
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
.

---|---|
obj |
T :
An object whose field to conditionally set |
expect |
V :
the expected value |
update |
V :
the new value |
