Class AtomicStampedReference<V>

java.lang.Object
java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicStampedReference<V>
Type Parameters:
V - The type of object referred to by this reference
public class AtomicStampedReference<V> extends Object
An AtomicStampedReference maintains an object reference along with an integer "stamp", that can be updated atomically.

Implementation note: This implementation maintains stamped references by creating internal objects representing "boxed" [reference, integer] pairs.

    Method
    Description
    boolean
    attemptStamp(V expectedReference, int newStamp)
    Atomically sets the value of the stamp to the given update value if the current reference is == to the expected reference.

    compareAndSet(V expectedReference, V newReference, int expectedStamp, int newStamp)
    Atomically sets the value of both the reference and stamp to the given update values if the current reference is == to the expected reference and the current stamp is equal to the expected stamp.
    V
    get(int[] stampHolder)
    Returns the current values of both the reference and the stamp.
    V
    getReference()
    Returns the current value of the reference.

    • AtomicStampedReference

      public AtomicStampedReference(V initialRef, int initialStamp)
      Creates a new AtomicStampedReference with the given initial values.
      Parameters:
      initialRef - the initial reference
      initialStamp - the initial stamp

  • Method Details

    • getReference

      public V getReference()
      Returns the current value of the reference.
      Returns:
      the current value of the reference

    • getStamp

      public int getStamp()
      Returns the current value of the stamp.
      Returns:
      the current value of the stamp

    • get

      public V get(int[] stampHolder)
      Returns the current values of both the reference and the stamp. Typical usage is int[1] holder; ref = v.get(holder); .
      Parameters:
      stampHolder - an array of size of at least one. On return, stampHolder[0] will hold the value of the stamp.
      Returns:
      the current value of the reference

    • weakCompareAndSet

      public boolean weakCompareAndSet(V expectedReference, V newReference, int expectedStamp, int newStamp)
      Atomically sets the value of both the reference and stamp to the given update values if the current reference is == to the expected reference and the current stamp is equal to the expected stamp. This operation may fail spuriously and does not provide ordering guarantees, so is only rarely an appropriate alternative to compareAndSet.
      Parameters:
      expectedReference - the expected value of the reference
      newReference - the new value for the reference
      expectedStamp - the expected value of the stamp
      newStamp - the new value for the stamp
      Returns:
      true if successful

    • compareAndSet

      public boolean compareAndSet(V expectedReference, V newReference, int expectedStamp, int newStamp)
      Atomically sets the value of both the reference and stamp to the given update values if the current reference is == to the expected reference and the current stamp is equal to the expected stamp.
      Parameters:
      expectedReference - the expected value of the reference
      newReference - the new value for the reference
      expectedStamp - the expected value of the stamp
      newStamp - the new value for the stamp
      Returns:
      true if successful

    • set

      public void set(V newReference, int newStamp)
      Unconditionally sets the value of both the reference and stamp.
      Parameters:
      newReference - the new value for the reference
      newStamp - the new value for the stamp

    • attemptStamp

      public boolean attemptStamp(V expectedReference, int newStamp)
      Atomically sets the value of the stamp to the given update value if the current reference is == to the expected reference. Any given invocation of this operation may fail (return false) spuriously, but repeated invocation when the current value holds the expected value and no other thread is also attempting to set the value will eventually succeed.
      Parameters:
      expectedReference - the expected value of the reference
      newStamp - the new value for the stamp
      Returns:
      true if successful
