NAME

12       pthread_spin_destroy, pthread_spin_init - destroy or initialize a  spin
13       lock object (ADVANCED REALTIME THREADS)
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <pthread.h>
17
18       int pthread_spin_destroy(pthread_spinlock_t *lock);
19       int pthread_spin_init(pthread_spinlock_t *lock, int pshared);

DESCRIPTION

23       The  pthread_spin_destroy() function shall destroy the spin lock refer‐
24       enced by lock and release any resources used by the lock. The effect of
25       subsequent use of the lock is undefined until the lock is reinitialized
26       by another call to pthread_spin_init(). The results  are  undefined  if
27       pthread_spin_destroy()  is  called  when a thread holds the lock, or if
28       this function is called with an uninitialized thread spin lock.
29
30       The pthread_spin_init() function shall allocate any resources  required
31       to  use  the spin lock referenced by lock and initialize the lock to an
32       unlocked state.
33
34       If the Thread Process-Shared Synchronization option  is  supported  and
35       the  value  of  pshared  is  PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED, the implementation
36       shall permit the spin lock to be operated upon by any thread  that  has
37       access  to  the  memory where the spin lock is allocated, even if it is
38       allocated in memory that is shared by multiple processes.
39
40       If the Thread Process-Shared Synchronization option  is  supported  and
41       the  value  of  pshared is PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE, or if the option is
42       not supported, the spin lock shall only be  operated  upon  by  threads
43       created within the same process as the thread that initialized the spin
44       lock. If threads of differing processes attempt to operate  on  such  a
45       spin lock, the behavior is undefined.
46
47       The  results  are undefined if pthread_spin_init() is called specifying
48       an already initialized spin lock. The results are undefined if  a  spin
49       lock is used without first being initialized.
50
51       If  the pthread_spin_init() function fails, the lock is not initialized
52       and the contents of lock are undefined.
53
54       Only the object referenced by lock may be used for performing  synchro‐
55       nization.
56
57       The  result  of  referring  to  copies  of  that  object  in  calls  to
58       pthread_spin_destroy(), pthread_spin_lock(), pthread_spin_trylock(), or
59       pthread_spin_unlock() is undefined.

RETURN VALUE

62       Upon  successful  completion, these functions shall return zero; other‐
63       wise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
64

ERRORS

66       These functions may fail if:
67
68       EBUSY  The implementation has detected  an  attempt  to  initialize  or
69              destroy a spin lock while it is in use (for example, while being
70              used in a pthread_spin_lock() call) by another thread.
71
72       EINVAL The value specified by lock is invalid.
73
74
75       The pthread_spin_init() function shall fail if:
76
77       EAGAIN The system lacks the necessary resources to  initialize  another
78              spin lock.
79
80       ENOMEM Insufficient memory exists to initialize the lock.
81
82
83       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

92       of the Spin Locks option and need not be provided  on  all  implementa‐
93       tions.
94

RATIONALE

96       None.
