In my last post I had asked a question about the visibility guarantee of the final modifier in java. Well, my colleague Alex Miller simultaneously blogged about it and beat me by answering it too.
Anyways, the answer to the question lies in the guarantee that the JMM gives for final variables. Basically it gives the guarantee that the state of the final variable (in this case the map) at the time the construction is complete is published to all threads without the need of any extra memory barrier.
More proofs and discussions can be found at Alex's blog.
