AtomicLongFieldUpdater

public abstract class AtomicLongFieldUpdater extends Object

A reflection-based utility that enables atomic updates to designated volatile long fields of designated classes. This class is designed for use in atomic data structures in which several fields of the same node are independently subject to atomic updates.

Note that the guarantees of the compareAndSet method in this class are weaker than in other atomic classes. Because this class cannot ensure that all uses of the field are appropriate for purposes of atomic access, it can guarantee atomicity only with respect to other invocations of compareAndSet and set on the same updater.

Protected do-nothing constructor for use by subclasses.

Public Methods

public final long accumulateAndGet (T obj, long x, LongBinaryOperator accumulatorFunction)

Atomically updates the field of the given object managed by this updater 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 as its first argument, and the given update as the second argument.

Parameters

obj	An object whose field to get and set
x	the update value
accumulatorFunction	a side-effect-free function of two arguments

Returns

• the updated value

public long addAndGet (T obj, long delta)

Atomically adds the given value to the current value of the field of the given object managed by this updater.

Parameters

obj	An object whose field to get and set
delta	the value to add

Returns

• the updated value

public abstract boolean compareAndSet (T obj, long expect, long update)

Atomically sets the field of the given object managed by this updater to the given updated value if the current value == the expected value. This method is guaranteed to be atomic with respect to other calls to compareAndSet and set, but not necessarily with respect to other changes in the field.

Parameters

obj	An object whose field to conditionally set
expect	the expected value
update	the new value

Returns

• true if successful

Throws

ClassCastException	if obj is not an instance of the class possessing the field established in the constructor

public long decrementAndGet (T obj)

Atomically decrements by one the current value of the field of the given object managed by this updater.

Parameters

obj	An object whose field to get and set

Returns

• the updated value

public abstract long get (T obj)

Gets the current value held in the field of the given object managed by this updater.

Parameters

obj	An object whose field to get

Returns

• the current value

public final long getAndAccumulate (T obj, long x, LongBinaryOperator accumulatorFunction)

Atomically updates the field of the given object managed by this updater 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 as its first argument, and the given update as the second argument.

Parameters

obj	An object whose field to get and set

Returns

public final long getAndUpdate (T obj, LongUnaryOperator updateFunction)

Atomically updates the field of the given object managed by this updater 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.

Returns

• the previous value

public long incrementAndGet (T obj)

Atomically increments by one the current value of the field of the given object managed by this updater.

Parameters

obj	An object whose field to get and set

public static AtomicLongFieldUpdater<U> newUpdater (Class<U> tclass, String fieldName)

Creates and returns an updater for objects with the given field. The Class argument is needed to check that reflective types and generic types match.

Parameters

tclass	the class of the objects holding the field
fieldName	the name of the field to be updated

Returns

• the updater

Throws

IllegalArgumentException	if the field is not a volatile long type
RuntimeException	with a nested reflection-based exception if the class does not hold field or is the wrong type, or the field is inaccessible to the caller according to Java language access control

public abstract void set (T obj, long newValue)

Sets the field of the given object managed by this updater to the given updated value. This operation is guaranteed to act as a volatile store with respect to subsequent invocations of compareAndSet.

Parameters

obj	An object whose field to set
newValue	the new value

public final long updateAndGet (T obj, LongUnaryOperator updateFunction)

Atomically updates the field of the given object managed by this updater 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

obj	An object whose field to get and set
updateFunction	a side-effect-free function

Returns

• the updated value

public abstract boolean weakCompareAndSet (T obj, long expect, long update)

Atomically sets the field of the given object managed by this updater to the given updated value if the current value == the expected value. This method is guaranteed to be atomic with respect to other calls to compareAndSet and set, but not necessarily with respect to other changes in the field.

May fail spuriously and does not provide ordering guarantees, so is only rarely an appropriate alternative to compareAndSet.

Parameters

obj	An object whose field to conditionally set
expect	the expected value
update	the new value

Returns

• true if successful

Throws

ClassCastException	if obj is not an instance of the class possessing the field established in the constructor
