An`AtomicStampedReference`maintains an object reference along with an integer "stamp", that can be updated atomically.

Implementation note: This implementation maintains stamped references by creating internal objects representing "boxed" \[reference, integer\] pairs.

## Public methods

### attemptStamp

Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)  

```
open fun attemptStamp(
    expectedReference: V,

```

Atomically sets the value of the stamp to the given update value if the current reference is`==`to the expected reference. Any given invocation of this operation may fail (return`false`) spuriously, but repeated invocation when the current value holds the expected value and no other thread is also attempting to set the value will eventually succeed.

```
open fun weakCompareAndSet(

```

Atomically sets the value of both the reference and stamp to the given update values if the current reference is`==`to the expected reference and the current stamp is equal to the expected stamp. This operation may fail spuriously and does not provide ordering guarantees, so is only rarely an appropriate alternative to`compareAndSet`.
