Methods

impl<T> Spinlock<T>

fn new(user_data: T) -> Spinlock<T>

fn lock(&self) -> SpinlockGuard<T>

Locks the spinlock and returns a guard.

The returned value may be dereferenced for data access and the lock will be dropped when the guard falls out of scope.

let mylock = spinlock::Spinlock::new(0);
{
    let mut data = mylock.lock();
    // The lock is now locked and the data can be accessed
    *data += 1;
}
// The lock is dropped
