Instance Method Details

#attr_volatile(*attr_names)

Provides volatile (in the JVM’s sense) attribute accessors implemented atop of AtomicReference.

Usage:

class Foo
  extend Concurrent::ThreadSafe::Util::Volatile
  attr_volatile :foo, :bar

  def initialize(bar)
    super() # must super() into parent initializers before using the volatile attribute accessors
    self.bar = bar
  end

  def hello
    my_foo = foo # volatile read
    self.foo = 1 # volatile write
    cas_foo(1, 2) # => true | a strong CAS
  end
end
