How to know who holds the lock in vtune

[Aleksei_A_1]

Hi,

  We have spin locks from TBB (rw). I am interested to know who owns the lock. Yes, we have information who spins at particular object, but where is that guy who holds a lock? How to identify it?

Thanks!

You can use "Grouping" to "Sync Object / Thread / Function" to know objects works at different thread/function, in bottom-up report.

We'll try that, thanks a lot!

Also notice that the callstack pane can show several types of call stacks:

And the associated help info.  (Although, I noticed that "Spin Time" is missing from the documentation - defect filed.)

Alternatively, (on command line) list sync objects which belongs to different thread, function (I posted for GUI at 5/15/2015 11:22). Use (for example):
