k-compare single-swap (KCSS) is an extension of CAS that enables atomically checking multiple addresses before making an update.

AtomicLong63Array provides an array capable of storing 63-bit long values, and supports basic accessor functions like get(), set() and atomic operations like compareAndSet() with either one comparision or k-comparisions. The main purpose of this class is to demonstrate k-compare single-swap (KCSS).

get(i):
Gets value at index i.
1. Read value at i (reset if needed).
set(i, v):
Sets value at index i.
1. Convert target value to marked value.
2. Store into internal array.
compareAndSet(i, e, y):
Performs compare-and-set at index i.
1. Convert expected value to marked value.
2. Convert target value to marked value.
3. Perform CAS.
compareAndSet(i[], e[], y):
Performs k-compare-and-set at indices i.
1. Convert expected values to marked values.
2. Convert target value to marked value.
3. Perform KCSS.
-kcss(i[], e[], y):
Performs k-compare-single-swap at indices i.
1. Load linked value at i0.
2. Snapshot values at i1-rest.
3. Check if captured values match expected.
3a. If a value didnt match, restore (fail).
3b. Otherwise, store conditional new value.
3c. Retry if that failed.
-snapshot(i[], i0, i1, V[]):
Collects snapshot at indices i.
1. Collect old tags at i.
2. Collect old values at i.
3. Collect new values at i.
4. Collect new tags at i.
5. Check if both tags and values match.
5a. If they match, return values.
5b. Otherwise, retry.
-collectTags(i[], i0, i1, T[]):
Reads tags at indices i.
1. For each index, read its tag.
-collectValues(i[], i0, i1, V[]:
Reads values at indices is.
1. For each index, read its value.
-sc(i, y):
Store conditional if item at i is tag.
1. Try replace tag at i with item.
-ll(i):
Load linked value at i.
1. Increment current tag.
2. Read value at i.
3. Save the value.
4. Try replacing it with tag.
5. Otherwise, retry.
-read(i):
Reads value at i.
1. Get item at i.
2. If its not a tag, return its value.
3. Otherwise, reset it and retry.
-reset(i):
Resets item at i to value.
1. Check if item is a tag.
1a. If so, try replacing with saved value.
-cas(i, e, y):
Simulates CAS operation.
1. Check if expected value is present.
1a. If not present, exit (fail).
1b. Otherwise, update value (success).
-incTag():
Increments this thread's tag.
1. Get current tag id.
2. Increment tag id.
