Constructor Details

AtomicReferenceArray

public AtomicReferenceArray(int length)

Creates a new AtomicReferenceArray of the given length, with all elements initially null.

Parameters:

length - the length of the array

length

public final int length()

Returns the length of the array.

Returns:

the length of the array

get

public final E get(int i)

Parameters:

i - the index

Returns:

the current value

set

public final void set(int i,
 E newValue)

Sets the element at index i to newValue, with memory effects as specified by VarHandle.setVolatile(java.lang.Object...).

Parameters:

i - the index

newValue - the new value

lazySet

public final void lazySet(int i,
 E newValue)

Sets the element at index i to newValue, with memory effects as specified by VarHandle.setRelease(java.lang.Object...).

1.6

getAndSet

public final E getAndSet(int i,
 E newValue)

Atomically sets the element at index i to newValue and returns the old value, with memory effects as specified by VarHandle.getAndSet(java.lang.Object...).

Parameters:

i - the index

newValue - the new value

Returns:

the previous value

compareAndSet

public final boolean compareAndSet(int i,

Atomically sets the element at index i to newValue if the element's current value == expectedValue, with memory effects as specified by VarHandle.compareAndSet(java.lang.Object...).

Parameters:

i - the index

expectedValue - the expected value

newValue - the new value

Returns:

true if successful. False return indicates that the actual value was not equal to the expected value.

weakCompareAndSet

@Deprecated(since="9")
public final boolean weakCompareAndSet(int i,
 E expectedValue,
 E newValue)

Deprecated.

This method has plain memory effects but the method name implies volatile memory effects (see methods such as compareAndExchange(int, E, E) and compareAndSet(int, E, E)). To avoid confusion over plain or volatile memory effects it is recommended that the method weakCompareAndSetPlain(int, E, E) be used instead.

Possibly atomically sets the element at index i to newValue if the element's current value == expectedValue, with memory effects as specified by VarHandle.weakCompareAndSetPlain(java.lang.Object...).

Parameters:

i - the index

expectedValue - the expected value

newValue - the new value

Returns:

true if successful
