Inspectopedia 2024.3 Help

Inconsistent 'AtomicFieldUpdater' declaration

Reports issues with AtomicLongFieldUpdater, AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater, or AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater fields (the java.util.concurrent.atomic package).

The reported issues are identical to the runtime problems that can happen with atomic field updaters: specified field not found, specified field not accessible, specified field has a wrong type, and so on.

Examples:

  • class A { private static volatile int value = 0; private static final AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater updater = AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater.newUpdater((A.class), "value"); // warning: Field 'value' has 'static' modifier }
  • class B { private static final AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater updater = AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater.newUpdater(B.class, "value"); // warning: No field named 'value' found in class 'B' }
