Class 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.

      • 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...).

        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.
