Detailed Description

template<class M>
class mlib::sync_queue< M >

A template class that implements a "synchronous queue", in effect a mailbox that can store one "message", created by a producer thread, until consumed by a consumer thread.

If the mailbox is full (a message already there), the producer is blocked until previous message is consumed. If the mailbox is empty, a consumer is blocked until a new message arrives.

This is strictly equivalent with an async_queue with size 1 however it doesn't have the underlining std::queue structure and avoids all the back and forth copying of messages.

The documentation for this class was generated from the following file:
