Use AtomicLongFieldUpdater to shrink the footprint of StepLong, StepDouble, and AtomicDouble.
From a heapdump for a typical app, we see tens of thousands of instances of these classes:
StepLong: 21,751 instances
StepDouble: 29,233 instances
AtomicDouble 31,822 instances
Getting rid of the object reference to an AtomicLong shrinks the allocation footprint and avoids the extra pointer chasing. Note that StepLong and StepDouble still have a field
current
that is an AtomicLong / AtomicDouble; it can't be inlined into a volatile field without breaking backwards compatibility since it is exposed via thegetCurrent
method.
