Hi Chris,

Hard to evaluate a completely new design like this as the devil is always in the details.

I don't understand the purpose of handlePossibleCancellationInterrupt. Given it doesn't clear the interrupt state why does it need to wait?

Otherwise it looks okay.

Thanks, David

The change is to update the FutureTask implementation to what is in Doug's CVS. The old implementation using AbstractQueuedSynchronizer is replaced with a control "state" field that is updated by CAS to track completion, along with a Treiber stack to hold waiting threads. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~chegar/7132378/webrev.00/webrev/ I have already reviewed this change. The diffs in the webrev are not all that useful, I reviewed it by going through the new file. Doug, I added a new test for this. It fails about 1 in every 3-4 runs on some of the boxes I have access to. Is this useful? Would you want to take it into your CVS? -Chris.
