Constructor Detail

SynchronizedBoolean

public SynchronizedBoolean(boolean initialValue)

Make a new SynchronizedBoolean with the given initial value, and using its own internal lock.

SynchronizedBoolean

public SynchronizedBoolean(boolean initialValue,
                           java.lang.Object lock)

Make a new SynchronizedBoolean with the given initial value, and using the supplied lock.

Method Detail

get

public final boolean get()

Return the current value

set

public boolean set(boolean newValue)

Set to newValue.

Returns:

the old value

commit

public boolean commit(boolean assumedValue,
                      boolean newValue)

Set value to newValue only if it is currently assumedValue.

Returns:

true if successful

swap

public boolean swap(SynchronizedBoolean other)

Atomically swap values with another SynchronizedBoolean. Uses identityHashCode to avoid deadlock when two SynchronizedBooleans attempt to simultaneously swap with each other. (Note: Ordering via identyHashCode is not strictly guaranteed by the language specification to return unique, orderable values, but in practice JVMs rely on them being unique.)

Returns:

the new value

complement

public boolean complement()

Set the value to its complement

Returns:

the new value

and

public boolean and(boolean b)

Set value to value & b.

Returns:

the new value

or

public boolean or(boolean b)

Set value to value | b.

Returns:

the new value

xor

public boolean xor(boolean b)

Set value to value ^ b.

Returns:

the new value

compareTo
