<P>The <B>pthread_spin_lock</B> function shall lock the spin lock
|
||
referenced by <I>lock</I>. The calling thread shall acquire the lock
|
||
if it is not held by another thread. Otherwise, the thread shall spin
|
||
(that is, shall not return from the <B>pthread_spin_lock</B> call)
|
||
until the lock becomes available. The results are undefined if the
|
||
calling thread holds the lock at the time the call is made.</P>
|
||
<P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> supports single and multiple processor systems
|
||
as well as process CPU affinity masking by checking the mask when the
|
||
spin lock is initialized. If the process is using only a single
|
||
processor at the time <A HREF="pthread_spin_init.html"><B>pthread_spin_init</B>(3)</A>
|
||
is called then the spin lock is initialized as a PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
|
||
mutex object. A thread that calls <B>pthread_spin_lock</B> will block
|
||
rather than spin in this case. If the process CPU affinity mask is
|
||
altered after the spin lock has been initialised, the spin lock is
|
||
not modified, and may no longer be optimal for the number of CPUs
|
||
available.</P>
|
||
<P>The <B>pthread_spin_trylock</B> function shall lock the spin lock
|
||
referenced by <I>lock</I> if it is not held by any thread. Otherwise,
|
||
the function shall fail.

an uninitialized spin lock.
