A reflection-based utility that enables atomic updates to designated volatile reference fields of designated classes. This class is designed for use in atomic data structures in which several reference fields of the same node are independently subject to atomic updates. For example, a tree node might be declared as
 
class Node {
  private volatile Node left, right;
  private static final AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater<Node, Node> leftUpdater =
    AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater.newUpdater(Node.class, Node.class, "left");
  private static AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater<Node, Node> rightUpdater =
    AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater.newUpdater(Node.class, Node.class, "right");
  Node getLeft() { return left; }
  boolean compareAndSetLeft(Node expect, Node update) {
    return leftUpdater.compareAndSet(this, expect, update);
  }
  // ... and so on
 }

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.

Object arguments for parameters of type T that are not instances of the class passed to newUpdater will result in a ClassCastException being thrown.

Type parameters:
  • <T> – The type of the object holding the updatable field

Creates and returns an updater for objects with the given field. The Class arguments are needed to check that reflective types and generic types match.
Params:
  • tclass – the class of the objects holding the field
  • vclass – the class of the field
  • fieldName – the name of the field to be updated
Type parameters:
  • <U> – the type of instances of tclass
  • <W> – the type of instances of vclass
Throws:
  • ClassCastException – if the field is of the wrong type
  • IllegalArgumentException – if the field is not volatile
  • 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
Returns:the updater
