Class AtomicBoolean

java.lang.Object
java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public class AtomicBoolean extends Object implements Serializable
A boolean value that may be updated atomically. See the VarHandle specification for descriptions of the properties of atomic accesses. An AtomicBoolean is used in applications such as atomically updated flags, and cannot be used as a replacement for a Boolean.

  • Constructor Details

    • AtomicBoolean

      public AtomicBoolean(boolean initialValue)
      Creates a new AtomicBoolean with the given initial value.
      Parameters:
      initialValue - the initial value

    • AtomicBoolean

      public AtomicBoolean()
      Creates a new AtomicBoolean with initial value false.

  • Method Details

    • get

      public final boolean get()
      Returns the current value, with memory effects as specified by VarHandle.getVolatile(java.lang.Object...).
      Returns:
      the current value

    • compareAndSet

      public final boolean compareAndSet(boolean expectedValue, boolean newValue)
      Atomically sets the value to newValue if the current value == expectedValue, with memory effects as specified by VarHandle.compareAndSet(java.lang.Object...).
      Parameters:
      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 boolean weakCompareAndSet(boolean expectedValue, boolean newValue)
      Deprecated.
      This method has plain memory effects but the method name implies volatile memory effects (see methods such as compareAndExchange(boolean, boolean) and compareAndSet(boolean, boolean)). To avoid confusion over plain or volatile memory effects it is recommended that the method weakCompareAndSetPlain(boolean, boolean) be used instead.
      Possibly atomically sets the value to newValue if the current value == expectedValue, with memory effects as specified by VarHandle.weakCompareAndSetPlain(java.lang.Object...).
      Parameters:
      expectedValue - the expected value
      newValue - the new value
      Returns:
      true if successful
