AtomicBoolean

open class AtomicBoolean : Serializable

kotlin.Any
↳	java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean

A boolean value that may be updated atomically. See the VarHandle specification for descriptions of the properties of atomic accesses. An AtomicBoolean is used in applications such as atomically updated flags, and cannot be used as a replacement for a java.lang.Boolean.

weakCompareAndSet

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 33

open fun weakCompareAndSet(

    newValue: Boolean
): Boolean

Deprecated: This method has plain memory effects but the method name implies volatile memory effects (see methods such as compareAndExchange and compareAndSet). To avoid confusion over plain or volatile memory effects it is recommended that the method weakCompareAndSetPlain be used instead.

Possibly atomically sets the value to newValue if the current value == expectedValue, with memory effects as specified by VarHandle.weakCompareAndSetPlain.

Parameters
`expectedValue`	Boolean: the expected value

Return
`Boolean`	`true` if successful
