Class UnsafeAccess

java.lang.Object

org.jctools.util.UnsafeAccess

public class UnsafeAccess
extends java.lang.Object

Why should we resort to using Unsafe?

1. To construct class fields which allow volatile/ordered/plain access: This requirement is covered by AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater and similar but their performance is arguably worse than the DIY approach (depending on JVM version) while Unsafe intrinsification is a far lesser challenge for JIT compilers.
2. To construct flavors of AtomicReferenceArray.
3. Other use cases exist but are not present in this library yet.
