java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReferenceArray类提供了可以原子读取和写入的底层引用数组的操作，并且还包含高级原子操作。 AtomicReferenceArray支持对底层引用数组变量的原子操作。 它具有获取和设置方法，如在变量上的读取和写入。 也就是说，一个集合与同一变量上的任何后续获取相关联。 原子compareAndSet方法也具有这些内存一致性功能。

AtomicReferenceArray方法

以下是AtomicReferenceArray类中可用的重要方法的列表。

实例

以下TestThread程序显示了在线程环境中使用AtomicReferenceArray变量。

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReferenceArray;

public class TestThread {

   private static String[] source = new String[10];
   private static AtomicReferenceArray<String> atomicReferenceArray 
      = new AtomicReferenceArray<String>(source);

   public static void main(final String[] arguments) throws InterruptedException {
      for (int i=0; i<atomicReferenceArray.length(); i++) {
         atomicReferenceArray.set(i, "item-2");
      }

      Thread t1 = new Thread(new Increment());
      Thread t2 = new Thread(new Compare());
      t1.start();
      t2.start();

      t1.join();
      t2.join();        
   }  

   static class Increment implements Runnable {
      public void run() {
         for(int i=0; i<atomicReferenceArray.length(); i++) {
            String add = atomicReferenceArray.getAndSet(i,"item-"+ (i+1));
            System.out.println("Thread " + Thread.currentThread().getId() 
               + ", index " +i + ", value: "+ add);
         }
      }
   }

   static class Compare implements Runnable {
      public void run() {
         for(int i=0; i<atomicReferenceArray.length(); i++) {
            System.out.println("Thread " + Thread.currentThread().getId() 
               + ", index " +i + ", value: "+ atomicReferenceArray.get(i));
            boolean swapped = atomicReferenceArray.compareAndSet(i, "item-2", "updated-item-2");
            System.out.println("Item swapped: " + swapped);
            if(swapped){
               System.out.println("Thread " + Thread.currentThread().getId() 
                  + ", index " +i + ", updated-item-2");
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

这将产生以下结果 -

Item swapped: true
