safe publication: To publish an object safely, both the reference to the object and the \[state of the object\] must be made visible to other threads at the same time. A properly constructed object can be safely published by:
- Initializing an object reference from a static initializer;
- Storing a reference to it into a volatile field or AtomicReference;
- Storing a reference to it into a final field of a properly constructed object; or
- Storing a reference to it into a field that is properly guarded by a lock.
Definition TBD [Goetz 2006, §3.5 "Safe Publication"].
