How to declare array elements volatile in Java?

Question

Is there a way to declare array elements volatile in Java? I.e.

volatile int[] a = new int[10];

declares the array referen

Answer 1

How about this:

static class Cell {
        volatile T elem;
    }

private Cell[] alloc(int size){
        Cell[] cells = (Cell[]) (new Cell[size]);
        return cells;
    }

 volatile Cell[] arr;
 Cell[] newarr = alloc(16);
 for (int i = 0; i < newarr.length; i++) {
      newarr[i] = new Cell<>();
 }
 arr = newarr;

the cells make the content volatile too. also I assign the new array to the volatile one only after pre allocating the cells... there's the trade off of the Cell extra memory, but it's manageable
