+ * A {@code VolatileCallSite} is a {@link CallSite} whose target acts like a volatile variable.
+ * An {@code invokedynamic} instruction linked to a {@code VolatileCallSite} sees updates
+ * to its call site target immediately, even if the update occurs in another thread.
+ * There may be a performance penalty for such tight coupling between threads.
+ * <p>
+ * Unlike {@code MutableCallSite}, there is no
+ * {@linkplain MutableCallSite#syncAll syncAll operation} on volatile
+ * call sites, since every write to a volatile variable is implicitly
+ * synchronized with reader threads.
+ * <p>
+ * In other respects, a {@code VolatileCallSite} is interchangeable
+ * with {@code MutableCallSite}.
