| /** | |
| * A small toolkit of classes that support lock-free thread-safe | |
| * programming on single variables. Instances of Atomic classes | |
| * maintain values that are accessed and updated using methods | |
| * otherwise available for fields using associated atomic {@link | |
| * java.lang.invoke.VarHandle} operations. | |
| * | |
| * <p>Instances of classes | |
| * {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean}, | |
| * {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger}, | |
| * {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong}, and | |
| * {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference} | |
| * each provide access and updates to a single variable of the | |
| * corresponding type. Each class also provides appropriate utility | |
| * methods for that type. For example, classes {@code AtomicLong} and | |
| * {@code AtomicInteger} provide atomic increment methods. One | |
| * application is to generate sequence numbers, as in: | |
| * | |
| * <pre> {@code | |
| * class Sequencer { | |
| * private final AtomicLong sequenceNumber | |
| * = new AtomicLong(17); | |
| * public long next() { | |
| * return sequenceNumber.getAndIncrement(); | |
| * } | |
| * }}</pre> | |
| * | |
| * <p>Arbitrary transformations of the contained value are provided both | |
| * by low-level read-modify-write operations such as {@code compareAndSet} | |
| * and by higher-level methods such as {@code getAndUpdate}. | |
| * | |
| * <p>These classes are not general purpose replacements for {@code | |
| * java.lang.Integer} and related classes. They do <em>not</em> | |
| * define methods such as {@code equals}, {@code hashCode} and {@code | |
| * compareTo}. Because atomic variables are expected to be mutated, | |
| * they are poor choices for hash table keys. | |
| * | |
| * <p>The | |
| * {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicIntegerArray}, | |
| * {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLongArray}, and | |
| * {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReferenceArray} classes | |
| * further extend atomic operation support to arrays of these types. | |
| * These classes are also notable in providing {@code volatile} access | |
| * semantics for their array elements. | |
| * | |
| * <p>In addition to classes representing single values and arrays, | |
| * this package contains <em>Updater</em> classes that can be used to | |
| * obtain {@code compareAndSet} and related operations on any selected | |
| * {@code volatile} field of any selected class. These classes | |
| * predate the introduction of {@link | |
| * java.lang.invoke.VarHandle}, and are of more limited use. | |
| * {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater}, | |
| * {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater}, and | |
| * {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLongFieldUpdater} are | |
| * reflection-based utilities that provide access to the associated | |
| * field types. These are mainly of use in atomic data structures in | |
| * which several {@code volatile} fields of the same node (for | |
| * example, the links of a tree node) are independently subject to | |
| * atomic updates. These classes enable greater flexibility in how | |
| * and when to use atomic updates, at the expense of more awkward | |
| * reflection-based setup, less convenient usage, and weaker | |
| * guarantees. | |
| * | |
| * <p>The {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicMarkableReference} | |
| * class associates a single boolean with a reference. For example, this | |
| * bit might be used inside a data structure to mean that the object | |
| * being referenced has logically been deleted. | |
| * | |
| * The {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicStampedReference} | |
| * class associates an integer value with a reference. This may be | |
| * used for example, to represent version numbers corresponding to | |
| * series of updates. | |
| * | |
| * @since 1.5 | |
