Detailed Description

A lock-free and type safe power of 2 fixed sized single producer single consumer (SPSC) queue using a ringbuffer and atomics to ensure coherency.

This SPSC queue implementation works on an array which wraps using a power of two size and uses a bit mask to perform a modulus. Atomics are used to allow single-producer single-consumer safe semantics without locks. Elements are expected to be of a fixed size. The API is type safe as the underlying buffer is typed and all usage is done through macros.

An SPSC queue may be declared on a stack or statically and work as intended so long as its lifetime outlives any usage. Static declarations should be the preferred method as stack . It is meant to be a shared object between two execution contexts (ISR and a thread for example)

An SPSC queue is safe to produce or consume in an ISR with O(1) push/pull.

Warning

SPSC is not safe to produce or consume in multiple execution contexts.

Safe usage would be, where A and B are unique execution contexts:

1. ISR A producing and a Thread B consuming.
2. Thread A producing and ISR B consuming.
3. Thread A producing and Thread B consuming.
4. ISR A producing and ISR B consuming.
