Hi Please review:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/jdk9/JDK-8162108-rename-weakCompareAndSetVolatile/webrev/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/jdk9/JDK-8162108-rename-weakCompareAndSetVolatile/webrev/> This is a refactoring to produce a consistent naming scheme for the VarHandle Read Modify Write (RMW) methods. The unqualified methods default to volatile access. (And i hope this is the last modifying to the API signatures) This touches 166 classes that use or refer to the weak plain/volatile methods. The plan is to follow up deprecating (*not* for removal) the weakCompareAndSet methods on j.u.concurrent.atomic.* classes and add weakCompareAndSetPlain methods. Analysis via grepcode shows very little usages of the Atomic*.weakCompareAndSet methods. A further plan is to rename the Unsafe methods s/Swap/Set, add Plain qualifier etc. Paul.
