<P>The <B>pthread_spin_unlock</B> function shall release the spin
|
||
lock referenced by <I>lock</I> which was locked via the
|
||
<A HREF="pthread_spin_lock.html"><B>pthread_spin_lock</B>(3)</A> or
|
||
<A HREF="pthread_spin_lock.html"><B>pthread_spin_trylock</B>(3)</A>
|
||
functions. If there are threads spinning on the lock when
|
||
<B>pthread_spin_unlock</B> is called, the lock becomes available and
|
||
an unspecified spinning thread shall acquire the lock.
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> does not check ownership of the lock and it is
|
||
therefore possible for a thread other than the locker to unlock the
|
||
spin lock. This is not a feature that should be exploited.</P>
|
||
<P>The results are undefined if this function is called with an
|
||
uninitialized thread spin lock.
