Some notes: - The Object padding (pad10 - pad1d) in WorkQueue and ForkJoinPool is sensitive to reference size and compressed OOPS. I was surprised to see Object used rather than long or int.
- how is getCommonPoolParallelism() different from commonPool().getParallelism() ? Seems redundant. - I would document the effects of shutdown, shutdownNow, awaitTermination, isTerminating specific to the common pool on getCommonPool() rather than on the individual methods. The discussion seems out of place on the individual methods. Everything about the common pool should be consolidated (or replicated) on getCommonPool() for one-stop-shopping to understand the characteristics of the common pool. - ForkJoinTask - "If the current thread is operating in a ForkJoinPool," and similar phrases. It doesn't say what happens if it isn't. - ForkJoinTask - removing "This method may be invoked only from within ForkJoinPool computations (as may be determined using method inForkJoinPool()). Attempts to invoke in other contexts result in exceptions or errors, possibly including ClassCastException." etc. would seem to open up a lot of ambiguity about what happens when methods are called out of context. - CountedCompleter : "Asuuming" -> "Assuming" I didn't see anything that rang warning bells.
