In the sample code I pasted, there is nothing to prevent the fill(1) and fill(2) from running concurrently, and essentially write into the same array concurrently. My intent was that the fill(1) be complete before the second thread proceeds.
A simple change to have the 1st thread instead fill a temporary byte[] followed by assigning the temporary reference to the static volatile byte[] causes the program to no longer print “false”. This behavior, while it doesn't prove anything, is consistent with the JLS paragraph I quoted. But, it doesn't disprove Alexandru's claim either... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
