[section:synchronized_queues Synchronized Queues -- EXPERIMENTAL]

[warning These features are experimental and subject to change in future versions. There are not too much tests yet, so it is possible that you can find out some trivial bugs :(] 

[note These features are based on the [@http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2013/n3533.html [*N3533 - C++ Concurrent Queues]] C++1y proposal from Lawrence Crowl and Chris Mysen and [@http://www.manning.com/williams/ [*C++ Concurrency in Action]] from Anthony Williams.]


[////////////////////]
[section Introduction]

Queues provide a mechanism for communicating data between components of a system.

The existing deque in the standard library is an inherently sequential data structure. Its reference-returning element access operations cannot synchronize access to those elements with other queue operations. So, concurrent pushes and pops on queues require a different interface to the queue structure.

Moreover, concurrency adds a new dimension for performance and semantics. Different queue implementation must trade off uncontended operation cost, contended operation cost, and element order guarantees. Some of these trade-offs will necessarily result in semantics weaker than a serial queue. 

[endsect]

[/////////////////////////////////////]
[section:tutorial Tutorial]

Concurrent queues are a well know mechanism for communicating data between different threads.

Concurrent queues have inherently copy/move semantics for the data handling operation. Reference-returning interfaces are forbidden as multiple access to these references can not be thread-safe.

[section:sync_queue_req Synchronized Queue Model]

[section:bounded_unbounded Bounded-Unbounded Queues]

One of the major features of a concurrent queue is whether it has a bounded-unbounded capacity.

[endsect]

[section:locking Locking/Lock-free Queues]

Locking queues can by nature block waiting for the queue to be non-empty or non-full.

Lock-free queues will have some trouble waiting for the queue to be non-empty or non-full queues. These queues can not define operations such as push (and pull for bounded queues). That is, it could have blocking operations (presumably emulated with busy wait) but not waiting operations. 

[endsect]
[/////////////////////////////////////]
[section:closed Closed Queue]

Threads using a queue for communication need some mechanism to signal when the queue is no longer needed. The usual approach is add an additional out-of-band signal. However, this approach suffers from the flaw that threads waiting on either full or empty queues need to be woken up when the queue is no longer needed. Rather than require an out-of-band signal, we chose to directly support such a signal in the queue itself, which considerably simplifies coding.

To achieve this signal, a thread may close a queue. Once closed, no new elements may be pushed onto the queue. Push operations on a closed queue will either return queue_op_status::closed (when they have a queue_op_status return type), set the closed parameter if it has one or throw sync_queue::closed (when they do not). Elements already on the queue may be pulled off. When a queue is empty and closed, pull operations will either return queue_op_status::closed (when they have a status return), set the closed parameter if it has one or throw sync_queue::closed (when they do not).

[section:BasicConcurrentQueue Basic Concurrent Queue Operations]

The essential solution to the problem of concurrent queuing is to shift to value-based operations, rather than reference-based operations. 

The BasicConcurrentQueue concept models the basic operations of a concurrent queue.
 
A type `Q` meets the BasicConcurrentQueue requirements if the following expressions are well-formed and have the specified semantics 

* Q::value_type
* Q::size_type
* `q.push_back(e);`
* `q.push_back(rve);`
* `q.pull_front(lre);`
* `lre = q.pull_front();`
[/* `spe = q.ptr_pull_front();`]
* `b = q.empty();`
* `u = q.size();`

where 

* `q` denotes a value of type `Q`, 
* `e` denotes a value of type Q::value_type, 
* `u` denotes a value of type Q::size_type, 
* `lve` denotes an lvalue reference of type Q::value_type, 
* `rve` denotes an rvalue reference of type Q::value_type:
[/* `spe` denotes a shared_ptr<Q::value_type>]
* `qs` denotes a variable of of type `queue_op_status`,
