Base trait of all atomic references, no matter the type.
      
    
      Atomic references wrapping AnyRef values.
Atomic references wrapping AnyRef values.
is forced to be an AnyRef because the equality test is
        by reference and not by value.
      
    
      Atomic references wrapping Boolean values.
Atomic references wrapping Boolean values.
Note that the equality test in compareAndSet is value based,
since Boolean is a primitive.
      
    
      For a given T indicates the most specific Atomic[T]
reference type to use.
For a given T indicates the most specific Atomic[T]
reference type to use.
In essence this is implementing a form of specialization driven by implicits.
      
    
      Atomic references wrapping Byte values.
Atomic references wrapping Byte values.
Note that the equality test in compareAndSet is value based,
since Byte is a primitive.
      
    
      Atomic references wrapping Char values.
Atomic references wrapping Char values.
Note that the equality test in compareAndSet is value based,
since Char is a primitive.
      
    
      
    
      
    
      Atomic references wrapping Float values.
Atomic references wrapping Float values.
Note that the equality test in compareAndSet is value based,

      Atomic references wrapping Int values.
Atomic references wrapping Int values.
Note that the equality test in compareAndSet is value based,

      Atomic references wrapping Long values.
Atomic references wrapping Long values.
Note that the equality test in compareAndSet is value based,

      Atomic references wrapping any values implementing
Scala's Numeric type-class.
Atomic references wrapping any values implementing
Scala's Numeric type-class.
Note that the equality test in compareAndSet is reference based.
This is because we are storing AnyRef references and on top
of the JVM that's the semantic of compareAndSet. This behavior
is kept consistent even on top of Scala.js / Javascript.
      
    
      Atomic references wrapping Short values.
Atomic references wrapping Short values.
Note that the equality test in compareAndSet is value based,
since Short is a primitive.
      
    
      For applying padding to atomic references, in order to reduce cache contention.
For applying padding to atomic references, in order to reduce
cache contention. JEP 142 should reduce the need for this along
with the @Contended annotation, however that might have
security restrictions, the runtime might not act on it since it's
just a recommendation, plus it's nice to provide backwards
compatibility.

The default strategy is NoPadding. In order to apply padding:
import monix.execution.atomic.Atomic import monix.execution.atomic.PaddingStrategy.Right64 val paddedAtomic = Atomic.withPadding(10, Right64)
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
      
    
A small toolkit of classes that support compare-and-swap semantics for safe mutation of variables.
On top of the JVM, this means dealing with lock-free thread-safe programming. Also works on top of Javascript, with Scala.js, for API compatibility purposes and because it's a useful way to box a value.
The backbone of Atomic references is this method:
This method atomically sets a variable to the
updatevalue if it currently holds theexpectvalue, reportingtrueon success orfalseon failure. The classes in this package also contain methods to get and unconditionally set values.Building a reference is easy with the provided constructor, which will automatically return the most specific type needed (in the following sample, that's an
AtomicDouble, inheriting fromAtomicNumber[T]):These also provide useful helpers for atomically mutating of values (i.e.
transform,transformAndGet,getAndTransform, etc...) or of numbers of any kind (incrementAndGet,getAndAdd, etc...).
