Java 5.0

This threadsafe class uses java.lang.reflect to provide atomic operations for a named volatile field of type V within an object of type T . Its instance methods are like those of AtomicReference and the static newUpdater( ) factory method is like that of AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater .

 public abstract class  AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater<T,V>  {  // Protected Constructors  protected  AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater  ( );  // Public Class Methods  public static <U,W> AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater<U,W>  newUpdater  (Class<U>  tclass  ,          Class<W>  vclass  , String  fieldName  );  // Public Instance Methods  public abstract boolean  compareAndSet  (T  obj  , V  expect  , V  update  );        public abstract V  get  (T  obj  );        public V  getAndSet  (T  obj  , V  newValue  );        public abstract void  set  (T  obj  , V  newValue  );        public abstract boolean  weakCompareAndSet  (T  obj  , V  expect  , V  update  );   }
