Ok, maybe i've not understood correctly how B3 model works, for me being a B3 is a runtime property, not a type property.
By example, if there is an Object but the VM knows the only possible type is a B3 and the value is not null then the VM is free to emit several stores, because it's a B3, so tearing can occur. Said differently, B3 allows tearing, so B3.val and B3.ref allow tearing. If i do not want tearing, then B3 has to be stored in a field volatile or i have to declare the class as a B2. Did i get it right ? Rémi
