queue_spsc_atomic


A fixed capacity single-producer, single-consumer queue for multi-threaded and interrupt driven systems.
The queue may be used to transfer data to or from two threads or an ISR.

The queue makes use of etl::atomic_size_t

etl::queue_spsc_atomic<typename T,
                       const size_t SIZE,
                       const size_t MEMORY_MODEL = etl::memory_model::MEMORY_MODEL_LARGE>

Inherits from etl::iqueue_spsc_atomic<T>
etl::iqueue_spsc_atomic may be used as a size independent pointer or reference type for any
etl::queue_spsc_atomic instance of the same implementation.

The memory model determines the type used internally for indexes and size, to allow for the most efficient
implementation for the application.

Maximum queue sizes:
MEMORY_MODEL_SMALL   255
MEMORY_MODEL_MEDIUM  65535
MEMORY_MODEL_LARGE   2147483647
MEMORY_MODEL_HUGE    9223372036854775807

See memory_model.h

Member types


value_type      T
size_type       <based on memory model>
pointer         value_type*
const_pointer   const value_type*
reference       value_type&
const_reference const value_type&

Constructor


queue_spsc_atomic();

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Capacity


bool empty() const

Returns true if the size of the queue is zero, otherwise false.
Accurate from the 'pop' thread.
'Not empty' is a guess from the 'push' thread.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

bool full() const

Returns true if the size of the queue is SIZE, otherwise false.
Accurate from the 'push' thread.
'Not full' is a guess from the 'pop' thread.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

size_t size() const

Returns the size of the queue.
Due to concurrency, this is a guess.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

size_t available() const

Returns the remaining available capacity in the queue.
Due to concurrency, this is a guess.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

ETL_CONSTEXPR size_t max_size() const

Returns the maximum possible size of the queue.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

ETL_CONSTEXPR size_t capacity() const

Returns the maximum possible size of the queue.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Modifiers

bool push(const T& value);
bool push(T&& value);

Pushes a value to the back of the queue.
Returns true if successful, otherwise false.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

bool pop();

Pop a value from the front of the list.
Returns true if successful, otherwise false.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

bool pop(T& value);
bool pop(T&& value);

Pop a value from the front of the list and place it in value.
Returns true if successful, otherwise false.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

void clear();

Clears the queue to a size of zero.
Must be called from thread that pops the queue or when there is no  possibility of concurrent access.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

C++03

bool emplace(const T1& value1);
bool emplace(const T1& value1, const T2& value2);
bool emplace(const T1& value1, const T2& value2, const T3& value3);
bool emplace(const T1& value1, const T2& value2, const T3& value3, const T4& value4);

C++11

bool emplace(Args&&… args);

Constructs an item in the the queue 'in place'.
C++03: Supports up to four constructor parameters.

Notes


Remember that thread context switches may occur between calls to the access protected functions. For example, a call
to empty() may return true, but a subsequent call to pop() may succeed if a context switch occurred between the two
and pushed a new value.

Example


etl::queue_spsc_atomic<char, 10> queue;

int main()
{
  while (true)
  {
    char c;

    if (queue.pop(c))
    {
      Print(c);
    }
  }
}

void Thread()
{
  while (true)
  {
    queue.push('A');
  }
}
