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.

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?
Delta of zero would therefore mean that value has been set.
