<P>pthread_spin_destroy, pthread_spin_init - destroy or initialize a

</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc2" NAME="sect2">Description</A></H2>
<P>The <B>pthread_spin_destroy</B> function shall destroy the spin
lock referenced by <I>lock</I> 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 <B>pthread_spin_init</B> .
The results are undefined if <B>pthread_spin_destroy</B> is called
when a thread holds the lock, or if this function is called with an
uninitialized thread spin lock.
</P>
<P>The <B>pthread_spin_init</B> function shall allocate any resources
required to use the spin lock referenced by <I>lock</I> and
initialize the lock to an unlocked state.
</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 <B>pthread_spin_init</B> is called then the
spin lock is initialized as a PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL mutex object. A
thread that calls <A HREF="pthread_spin_lock.html"><B>pthread_spin_lock(3)</B></A>
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><B>Pthreads-w32</B> defines <B>_POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED</B> in
pthread.h as -1 to indicate that these routines do not support the
<B>PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED</B> attribute. <B>pthread_spin_init</B>
will return the error <B>ENOTSUP</B> if the value of <I>pshared</I>
is not <B>PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE</B>.</P>
<P>The results are undefined if <B>pthread_spin_init</B> is called
specifying an already initialized spin lock. The results are
undefined if a spin lock is used without first being initialized.
</P>
<P>If the <B>pthread_spin_init</B> function fails, the lock is not
initialized and the contents of <I>lock</I> are undefined.
</P>
<P>Only the object referenced by <I>lock</I> may be used for
performing synchronization.
</P>
<P>The result of referring to copies of that object in calls to
<B>pthread_spin_destroy</B> , <A HREF="pthread_spin_lock.html"><B>pthread_spin_lock</B>(3)</A>
, <A HREF="pthread_spin_lock.html"><B>pthread_spin_trylock</B>(3)</A>,
or <A HREF="pthread_spin_unlock.html"><B>pthread_spin_unlock</B>(3)</A>
is undefined.
</P>
<P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> supports statically initialized spin locks
using <B>PTHREAD_SPINLOCK_INITIALIZER</B>. An application should
still call <B>pthread_spin_destroy</B> at some point to ensure that
any resources consumed by the spin lock are released.</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Return Value</A></H2>
<P>Upon successful completion, these functions shall return zero;
otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

The implementation has detected an attempt to initialize or destroy
a spin lock while it is in use (for example, while being used in a

call) by another thread.
