pthread_spin_destroy()

Destroy a thread spinlock

Synopsis:

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_spin_destroy( 
       pthread_spinlock_t * spinner );

spinner: A pointer to the pthread_spinlock_t object that you want to destroy.

libc

Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

The pthread_spin_destroy() function destroys the thread spinlock spinner, releasing its resources.

Once you've destroyed the spinlock, don't use it again until you've reinitialized it by calling pthread_spin_init().

Calling pthread_spin_destroy() gives undefined results when a thread has spinner locked or when spinner isn't initialized.

EOK: Success.
EBUSY: The thread spinlock spinner is in use by another thread and can't be destroyed.
EINVAL: Invalid pthread_spinlock_t object spinner.
