  30. <P>The <B>pthread_spin_destroy</B> function shall destroy the spin
  31. lock referenced by <I>lock</I> and release any resources used by the
  32. lock. The effect of subsequent use of the lock is undefined until the
  33. lock is reinitialized by another call to <B>pthread_spin_init</B> .
  34. The results are undefined if <B>pthread_spin_destroy</B> is called
  35. when a thread holds the lock, or if this function is called with an
  36. uninitialized thread spin lock.
  37. </P>
  38. <P>The <B>pthread_spin_init</B> function shall allocate any resources
  39. required to use the spin lock referenced by <I>lock</I> and
  40. initialize the lock to an unlocked state.
  41. </P>
  42. <P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> supports single and multiple processor systems
  43. as well as process CPU affinity masking by checking the mask when the
  44. spin lock is initialized. If the process is using only a single
  45. processor at the time <B>pthread_spin_init</B> is called then the
  46. spin lock is initialized as a PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL mutex object. A
  47. thread that calls <A HREF="pthread_spin_lock.html"><B>pthread_spin_lock(3)</B></A>
  48. will block rather than spin in this case. If the process CPU affinity
  49. mask is altered after the spin lock has been initialised, the spin
  50. lock is not modified, and may no longer be optimal for the number of
  51. CPUs available.</P>
  52. <P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> defines <B>_POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED</B> in
  53. pthread.h as -1 to indicate that these routines do not support the
  54. <B>PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED</B> attribute. <B>pthread_spin_init</B>
  55. will return the error <B>ENOTSUP</B> if the value of <I>pshared</I>
  56. is not <B>PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE</B>.</P>
  57. <P>The results are undefined if <B>pthread_spin_init</B> is called
  58. specifying an already initialized spin lock. The results are
  59. undefined if a spin lock is used without first being initialized.
  60. </P>
  61. <P>If the <B>pthread_spin_init</B> function fails, the lock is not
  62. initialized and the contents of <I>lock</I> are undefined.
  63. </P>
  64. <P>Only the object referenced by <I>lock</I> may be used for
  65. performing synchronization.
  66. </P>
  67. <P>The result of referring to copies of that object in calls to
  68. <B>pthread_spin_destroy</B> , <A HREF="pthread_spin_lock.html"><B>pthread_spin_lock</B>(3)</A>
  69. , <A HREF="pthread_spin_lock.html"><B>pthread_spin_trylock</B>(3)</A>,
  70. or <A HREF="pthread_spin_unlock.html"><B>pthread_spin_unlock</B>(3)</A>
  71. is undefined.
  72. </P>
  73. <P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> supports statically initialized spin locks
  74. using <B>PTHREAD_SPINLOCK_INITIALIZER</B>. An application should
  75. still call <B>pthread_spin_destroy</B> at some point to ensure that
  76. any resources consumed by the spin lock are released.</P>
