Let's start over here:
Thread 1
int b = 0;
volatile boolean a = false;
...
...
a = true;
b = 1;
Thread 2
int bStore = b;
if (!a) {
System.out.println("The value of b is " + bStore);
}
Will this always print either "The value of b is 0" or nothing.
+++++++++++++++
I'm not even sure what we are discussing any more so I will make a
statement that I don't think can be false.
If a is false at the if in thread 2 then b must be 0 in thread 2.
In thread 1, b = 0 happens before a = false happens before a = true
happens before b = 1.
In thread 2, bStore = b happens before the test of a. Therefore bStore
must be 0 in the print statement if a is false.
And if a is true at the test in thread 2 then b could be either 0 or 1.
Do we disagree on this?
