Sebb commented on IO-191:
-------------------------
@Jukka (was @Sebb)
The problem is - what does A: see for the collection the *next* time it
accesses it?
Unless the collection field is volatile, there is no guarantee that A will see
the updated value for the field.
And unless the A and B synch. on the same lock, A can see a partially updated
object.
AIUI the example works because thread A owns the iterator across the change
made by B.
When A needs to fetch the iterator again, it won't necessarily see the new
collection unless synch. is used.
> Possible improvements using static analysis.
