Annotation Type SingleThreaded

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface SingleThreaded

@SingleThreaded documents that a class is not thread-safe and should be used by one thread only. Library maintainers can employ it to flag non-concurrent designs.

Retention and effect: Retained at runtime but imposes no automatic restrictions unless Chronicle tooling validates it.

  @SingleThreaded
 final class IdGenerator { }
 

Chronicle runtime checks this contract unless AbstractCloseable.singleThreadedCheckDisabled() is enabled. Call singleThreadedCheckReset() before handing the instance to another thread. Violations may lead to subtle data races.
