Crate spin_locks [−] [src]
#spin-locks
An Intel hardware-optimized spin lock that uses Hardware Lock Elision (HLE) and a non-CAS based spin lock (an OR lock) as a fast fallback.
The intel spin lock, IntelTsxHleSpinLock, is only available on x86 and x86_64 targets.
To pick the best spin lock for the compilation target, use the type alias BestSpinLockForCompilationTarget.
Structs
| AtomicBoolSpinLock |
An efficient, CAS-free unfair spin lock that uses an atomic fetch OR and only requires one byte of memory. |
| IntelTsxHleSpinLock |
An efficient, CAS-free unfair spin lock that uses an atomic exchange and only requires one byte of memory. Uses Intel TSX Hardware Lock Elision (which should be backwards compatible) to create a spin lock.
