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(byte other)

compareTo

public int compareTo(SynchronizedByte other)

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object 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

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

get

public final byte get()
Return the current value

hashCode

public int hashCode()

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
