OS but is not otherwise required.
Title: PTHREAD SPINLOCK ISSUES
Description: Basic support for pthread spinlocks was added on 2019-02-28,
However, there are some issues related to the implementation
as it stands.
1. The Use is not fully verified. How are these interfaces
used? How should they be tested?
2. These interfaces depend on architecture specific support
support fraom each architecture that support is not be
fully available to the pthread library in all cases.
3. It is also restricted to CONFIG_BUILD_FLAT because the
critical test and set function (up_testset()) as
prototyped in include/nuttx/spinlock() does not permit an
inline function or macro to be used in user-mode
application space.
For these reasons, the selection is marked EXPERIMENTAL.
Status: Open
Priority: Low. These are new interfaces and not yet in wide use. The
use case for these interfaces is not well defined, but I
think it would be restricted to multi-core CPU implmentations
which are not widespread in the embedded world.
