As part of JEP 155 (Concurrency Updates) we are proposing to add StampedLock. A capability-based lock with three modes for controlling read/write access.

Javadoc: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~chegar/8005697/ver.00/javadoc/StampedLock.html (some external links are not working in this online version) Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~chegar/8005697/ver.00/webrev/webrev/ Martin Buchholz pointed out a javadoc warning.

I missed these warnings as they were to javadoc on private members. Quite trivially, the commented assert added with these fixes is missing a trailing ';'. // assert (s & ABITS) >= RFULL

I also noticed that I had failed to include the simple toString-based informal debug/monitoring aids that we've been doing for synchronizers. Sorry. Now added. For example, printing a lock twice during a test: java.util.concurrent.locks.StampedLock at 29178281[Read-locks:13] ... java.util.concurrent.locks.StampedLock at 29178281[Unlocked]

Ah yes, this is nice, and consistent. It effects the API, so I will regenerate the javadoc.

Martin made another good suggestion. I will regenerate the webrev/javadoc after you give this some consideration.
