PTHREAD_SPIN_DESTROY(3P)  POSIX Programmer's Manual PTHREAD_SPIN_DESTROY(3P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       pthread_spin_destroy, pthread_spin_init — destroy or initialize a
       spin lock object

SYNOPSIS         top

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       The pthread_spin_destroy() function shall destroy the spin lock
       referenced by lock and release any resources used by the lock. The
       effect of subsequent use of the lock is undefined until the lock is
       reinitialized by another call to pthread_spin_init().  The results
       are undefined if pthread_spin_destroy() is called when a thread holds
       the lock, or if this function is called with an uninitialized thread
       spin lock.
       The pthread_spin_init() function shall allocate any resources
       required to use the spin lock referenced by lock and initialize the
       lock to an unlocked state.
       If the Thread Process-Shared Synchronization option is supported and
       the value of pshared is PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED, the implementation
       shall permit the spin lock to be operated upon by any thread that has
       access to the memory where the spin lock is allocated, even if it is
       allocated in memory that is shared by multiple processes.
       If the Thread Process-Shared Synchronization option is supported and
       the value of pshared is PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE, or if the option is
       not supported, the spin lock shall only be operated upon by threads
       created within the same process as the thread that initialized the
       spin lock. If threads of differing processes attempt to operate on
       such a spin lock, the behavior is undefined.
       The results are undefined if pthread_spin_init() is called specifying
       an already initialized spin lock. The results are undefined if a spin
       lock is used without first being initialized.
       If the pthread_spin_init() function fails, the lock is not
       initialized and the contents of lock are undefined.
       Only the object referenced by lock may be used for performing
       synchronization.
       The result of referring to copies of that object in calls to
       pthread_spin_destroy(), pthread_spin_lock(), pthread_spin_trylock(),
       or pthread_spin_unlock() is undefined.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return zero;
       otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS         top

       The pthread_spin_init() function shall fail if:
       EAGAIN The system lacks the necessary resources to initialize another
              spin lock.
       ENOMEM Insufficient memory exists to initialize the lock.
       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

       None.

RATIONALE         top

       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the lock
       argument to pthread_spin_destroy() does not refer to an initialized
       spin lock object, it is recommended that the function should fail and
       report an [EINVAL] error.
       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the lock
       argument to pthread_spin_destroy() or pthread_spin_init() refers to a
       locked spin lock object, or detects that the value specified by the
       lock argument to pthread_spin_init() refers to an already initialized
       spin lock object, it is recommended that the function should fail and
       report an [EBUSY] error.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
