> If there are two threads calling `Executable.hasRealParameterData()` under race and the first one writes into volatile `Executable.parameters` field (doing _releasing store_) and the second thread reads non-null value from the same field (doing acquiring read) then it must read exactly the same value written into `hasRealParameterData` within `privateGetParameters()`. The reason for this is that we assign `hasRealParameterData` before  _releasing store_.
> 
> In the opposite case (_acquiring read_ reads null) the second thread writes the value itself and returns it from the method so there is no change in behavior.
