This class is designed for use in atomic data structures * in which several reference fields of the same node are * independently subject to atomic updates. For example, a tree node * might be declared as * *
 * class Node {
 *   private volatile Node left, right;
 *
 *   private static final AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater<Node, Node> leftUpdater =
 *     AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater.newUpdater(Node.class, Node.class, "left");
 *   private static AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater<Node, Node> rightUpdater =
 *     AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater.newUpdater(Node.class, Node.class, "right");
 *
 *   Node getLeft() { return left;  }
 *   boolean compareAndSetLeft(Node expect, Node update) {
 *     return leftUpdater.compareAndSet(this, expect, update);
 *   }
 *   // ... and so on
 * }
 * 
* *
