Re: [jboss-dev] compareAndSet variation

This doesn't really make any sense - you're saying if the value is different, return the delta and leave the value unchanged, but if the delta was zero between the expect and update, then the value wouldn't need changing anyway! You can do that with just a read. - DML On 02/10/2010 09:36 AM, Vladimir Blagojevic wrote: > Hi, > > Not sure if there are any concurrency enthusiasts here but I'll give it a shot :) > > Would it be possible to make a lock-free, thread safe structure that would essentially retain "boolean compareAndSet(long expect,long update)" semantics but instead of returning boolean would return delta between actual underlying value and update value?
