_AcquireSpinLock

Microsoft Specific

Used to enter a critical section, effectively ensuring that no other thread is able to execute the code path between the call to _AcquireSpinLock and the call to _ReleaseSpinLock.

void _AcquireSpinLock(
   unsigned __int64 * Lock
)

Parameters

  • [out] Lock
    The lock variable: set to 1 when a lock is acquired.

Remarks

Other threads attempting to execute _AcquireSpinLock block until the thread with the lock calls _ReleaseSpinLock.

This routine is only available as an intrinsic.

Requirements
