Class SynchronizedByte

public class SynchronizedByte extends SynchronizedVariable implements Comparable, Cloneable

A class useful for offloading synch for byte instance variables.

Field Summary
protected byte	value_

Constructor Summary
	SynchronizedByte(byte initialValue) Make a new SynchronizedByte with the given initial value, and using its own internal lock.
	SynchronizedByte(byte initialValue, Object lock) Make a new SynchronizedByte with the given initial value, and using the supplied lock.

Method Summary
byte	add(byte amount) Add amount to value (i.e., set value += amount)
byte	and(byte b) Set value to value & b.
boolean	commit(byte assumedValue, byte newValue) Set value to newValue only if it is currently assumedValue.
int	compareTo(byte other)
int	compareTo(SynchronizedByte other)
int	compareTo(Object other)
byte	complement() Set the value to its complement
byte	decrement() Decrement the value.
byte	divide(byte factor) Divide value by factor (i.e., set value /= factor)
boolean	equals(Object other)
byte	get() Return the current value
int	hashCode()
byte	increment() Increment the value.
byte	multiply(byte factor) Multiply value by factor (i.e., set value *= factor)
byte	negate() Set the value to the negative of its old value
byte	or(byte b) Set value to value \| b.
byte	set(byte newValue) Set to newValue.
byte	subtract(byte amount) Subtract amount from value (i.e., set value -= amount)
byte	swap(SynchronizedByte other) Atomically swap values with another SynchronizedByte.
String	toString()
byte	xor(byte b) Set value to value ^ b.

Constructor Detail

SynchronizedByte

public SynchronizedByte(byte initialValue)

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

SynchronizedByte

public SynchronizedByte(byte initialValue, Object lock)

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

Method Detail

add

public byte add(byte amount)

Add amount to value (i.e., set value += amount)

Returns: the new value

and

public byte and(byte b)

Set value to value & b.

Returns: the new value

commit

public boolean commit(byte assumedValue, byte newValue)

Set value to newValue only if it is currently assumedValue.

Returns: true if successful

compareTo

public int compareTo(SynchronizedByte other)

complement

public byte complement()

Set the value to its complement

Returns: the new value

decrement

public byte decrement()

Decrement the value.

Returns: the new value

divide

public byte divide(byte factor)

Divide value by factor (i.e., set value /= factor)

Returns: the new value

get

public final byte get()

Return the current value

increment

public byte increment()

Increment the value.

Returns: the new value

multiply

public byte multiply(byte factor)

Multiply value by factor (i.e., set value *= factor)

Returns: the new value

negate

public byte negate()

Set the value to the negative of its old value

Returns: the new value

or

public byte or(byte b)

Set value to value | b.

Returns: the new value

set

public byte set(byte newValue)

Set to newValue.

Returns: the old value

subtract

public byte subtract(byte amount)

Subtract amount from value (i.e., set value -= amount)

Returns: the new value

swap

public byte swap(SynchronizedByte other)

Atomically swap values with another SynchronizedByte. Uses identityHashCode to avoid deadlock when two SynchronizedBytes 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

toString

public String toString()

xor

public byte xor(byte b)

Set value to value ^ b.

Returns: the new value
