Description

AtomicInteger and the other number atomics extend Number and so they support conversion to boolean through extension method asBoolean(Number). However, AtomicBoolean requires a separate extension method for this.

 // you can omit ".asBoolean()"
 assert  new AtomicBoolean(true).asBoolean()
 assert !new AtomicBoolean(false).asBoolean()
 assert !new AtomicBoolean(true).tap{set(false)}
