spinlock in Hp-ux PA-RISC

Hi,

I am new to this concept of spin-wait. I did work on semaphores and also posix unnamed semaphores. One of our developers suggested using spin-wait methodology.

I tried searching and came across some assembly code. At the same time, I found spinlock, spinunlock functions in hp-ux. Can I use them?

Any pointers or code-snippets you could suggest me?

Thanks
