Semi Lock-Less Queue

About

This is a helper library for sending data between threads or within the same process between logic layers.

Queue Modes

Current modes for the queues are:

• SLLQ_MUTEX: Use POSIX thread mutexes and conditions
• SLLQ_PIPE: Use UNIX pipes

Usage

Here is a short example how to use this, see the sllqbench directory for a more complete example.

#include "config.h"
#include "sllq/sllq.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>

void* push(void* vp) {
    sllq_t* q = (sllq_t*)vp;
    size_t n = 10;
    int err;
    void* data = 0xdeadbeef;

    while (n--) {
        err = SLLQ_EAGAIN;
        while (err == SLLQ_EAGAIN || err == SLLQ_FULL)
            err = sllq_push(q, data, 0);
        if (err != SLLQ_OK)
            exit(1);
    }

    return 0;
}

void* shift(void* vp) {
    sllq_t* q = (sllq_t*)vp;
    size_t n = 10;
    int err;
    void* data = 0;

    while (n--) {
        err = SLLQ_EAGAIN;
        while (err == SLLQ_EAGAIN || err == SLLQ_FULL)
            err = sllq_shift(q, &data, 0);
        if (err != SLLQ_OK)
            exit(1);
    }

    return 0;
}

int main(void) {
    sllq_t q = SLLQ_T_INIT;
    pthread_t thrpush, thrshift;

    sllq_set_mode(&q, SLLQ_MUTEX);
    sllq_set_size(&q, 0x100);
    sllq_init(&q);

    pthread_create(&thrpush, 0, push, (void*)&q);
    pthread_create(&thrshift, 0, shift, (void*)&q);
    pthread_join(thrpush, 0);
    pthread_join(thrshift, 0);

    return 0;
}
