Interface AtomicMarkableReference<V>

Type Parameters:
V - the type of object referred to by this reference
All Known Implementing Classes:
LocalAtomicMarkableReference, RemoteAtomicMarkableReference

    Method
    Description
    Return non-blocking API for this atomic reference.
    boolean
    attemptMark(V expectedReference, boolean fNewMark)
    Atomically sets the value of the mark to the given update value if the current reference is equal to the expected reference.
    boolean
    compareAndSet(V expectedReference, V newReference, boolean fExpectedMark, boolean fNewMark)
    Atomically sets the value of both the reference and mark to the given update values if the current reference is equal to the expected reference and the current mark is equal to the expected mark.
    get(boolean[] abMarkHolder)
    Returns the current values of both the reference and the mark.
    Returns the current value of the reference.
    boolean
    Returns the current value of the mark.
    void
    set(V newReference, boolean fNewMark)
    Unconditionally sets the value of both the reference and mark.
  • Method Details

    • async

      Return non-blocking API for this atomic reference.
      Returns:
      non-blocking API for this atomic reference
    • getReference

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

      boolean isMarked()
      Returns the current value of the mark.
      Returns:
      the current value of the mark
    • get

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

      boolean compareAndSet(V expectedReference, V newReference, boolean fExpectedMark, boolean fNewMark)
      Atomically sets the value of both the reference and mark to the given update values if the current reference is equal to the expected reference and the current mark is equal to the expected mark.
      Parameters:
      expectedReference - the expected value of the reference
      newReference - the new value for the reference
      fExpectedMark - the expected value of the mark
      fNewMark - the new value for the mark
      Returns:
      true if successful
    • set

      void set(V newReference, boolean fNewMark)
      Unconditionally sets the value of both the reference and mark.
      Parameters:
      newReference - the new value for the reference
      fNewMark - the new value for the mark
    • attemptMark

      boolean attemptMark(V expectedReference, boolean fNewMark)
      Atomically sets the value of the mark to the given update value if the current reference is equal 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
      fNewMark - the new value for the mark
      Returns:
      true if successful
