    int
    DbEnv::mutex_set_tas_spins(u_int32_t tas_spins);

    int
    DbEnv::mutex_get_tas_spins(u_int32_t *, tas_spinsp);

Description: DbEnv::mutex_set_tas_spins

Specify that test-and-set mutexes should spin tas_spins times without blocking. The value defaults to 1 on uniprocessor systems and to 50 times the number of processors on multiprocessor systems.

The database environment's test-and-set spin count may also be configured using the environment's DB_CONFIG file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string "set_tas_spins", one or more whitespace characters, and the number of spins. Because the DB_CONFIG file is read when the database environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that time.

The DbEnv::mutex_set_tas_spins method configures operations performed using the specified DbEnv handle, not all operations performed on the underlying database environment.

The DbEnv::mutex_set_tas_spins method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

The DbEnv::mutex_set_tas_spins method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.

Parameters
tas_spins

- The tas_spins parameter is the number of spins test-and-set mutexes should execute before blocking.

Errors

The DbEnv::mutex_set_tas_spins method may fail and throw DbException, encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of the following non-zero errors:

EINVAL

- An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

Description: DbEnv::mutex_get_tas_spins

The DbEnv::mutex_get_tas_spins method returns the test-and-set spin count.

The DbEnv::mutex_get_tas_spins method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

The DbEnv::mutex_get_tas_spins method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.

Parameters
tas_spinsp

- The DbEnv::mutex_get_tas_spins method returns the test-and-set spin count in tas_spinsp.
