Non-atomic long and double assignment
[131 byte] By [ADJavaUsera] at [2007-10-2 4:36:57] 
Is it true that the assignment of all primitive types with the exception of long and double is treated as atomic operations?
Yes, but this is not restricted to primitive types. It goes for Object references too.

These are the only operations that can be seen by other threads that are guaranteed to be atomic:A read or write of a field that is not a long or a double.A read or write of a volatile field.
