1.5

Constructors

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

AtomicReferenceArray

public AtomicReferenceArray(E[] array)

Creates a new AtomicReferenceArray with the same length as, and all elements copied from, the given array.

Parameters:

array - the array to copy elements from

Throws:

NullPointerException - if array is null

Methods

length

public final int length()

Returns the length of the array.

Returns:

the length of the array

get

public final E get(int i)

Gets the current value at position i.

Parameters:

i - the index

Returns:

the current value

set

public final void set(int i,
                      E newValue)

Sets the element at position i to the given value.

Parameters:

i - the index

newValue - the new value

lazySet

public final void lazySet(int i,
                          E newValue)

Eventually sets the element at position i to the given value.

Parameters:

i - the index

newValue - the new value

Since:

1.6

getAndSet

public final E getAndSet(int i,
                         E newValue)

Atomically sets the element at position i to the given value and returns the old value.

Parameters:

i - the index

newValue - the new value

Returns:

the previous value

compareAndSet

public final boolean compareAndSet(int i,
                                   E expect,
                                   E update)

Atomically sets the element at position i to the given updated value if the current value == the expected value.

Parameters:

i - the index

expect - the expected value

update - the new value

Returns:

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

weakCompareAndSet

public final boolean weakCompareAndSet(int i,
                                       E expect,
                                       E update)

Parameters:

i - the index

expect - the expected value

update - the new value

Returns:

true if successful

getAndUpdate

public final E getAndUpdate(int i,
                            UnaryOperator<E> updateFunction)

Atomically updates the element at index i 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.

Parameters:

i - the index

updateFunction - a side-effect-free function

Returns:

the previous value

Since:

1.8

updateAndGet

public final E updateAndGet(int i,
                            UnaryOperator<E> updateFunction)

Atomically updates the element at index i 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:

i - the index

updateFunction - a side-effect-free function

Returns:

the updated value

Since:

1.8

getAndAccumulate

public final E getAndAccumulate(int i,
                                E x,
                                BinaryOperator<E> accumulatorFunction)

Atomically updates the element at index i 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 at index i as its first argument, and the given update as the second argument.

Parameters:

i - the index

x - the update value

accumulatorFunction - a side-effect-free function of two arguments

Returns:

the previous value

Since:

1.8

accumulateAndGet

public final E accumulateAndGet(int i,
                                E x,
                                BinaryOperator<E> accumulatorFunction)

Atomically updates the element at index i 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 at index i as its first argument, and the given update as the second argument.

Parameters:

i - the index

x - the update value

accumulatorFunction - a side-effect-free function of two arguments

Returns:
