- Mark Might Doug's two-field atomic operations support idea possibly be a part of this (i.e. make it in time for Java 8)?
I think it is unlikely for JDK8. Doing this (basically 2CAS and maybe 3CAS, 4CAS) well enough to release would require more JVM intrinsics to handle the cases mappable to instructions on recent/upcoming processros. We can (slowly) emulate on others, but I don't think there will be a long enough time window to coordinate for JDK8. Stay tuned though for some variants of locks etc that make some STM-ish usages easier. These ought to make it in time (and so are alluded to in JEP).
