💖 qlfqueue_create(3) — libqthread 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're gonna talk about allocating a lock-free queue and honestly? iconic behavior.

✨ NAME ✨

qlfqueue_create — allocate a lock-free queue 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <qthread/qlfqueue.h>

qlfqueue_t *
qlfqueue_create (void);

like, that's it. that's the whole call. no args, no drama, just vibes 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this function initializes a qlfqueue lock-free queue object. yes queen, it's giving brand new queue energy ✨

and the way this queue works? it provides global ordering, and it pulls that off by using the qthread_cas_ptr() functions. no locks, no waiting around, just compare-and-swap doing its lil thing 🎀

no cap: this is a lock-free queue, so the whole point is that nobody's sitting there holding a lock while you're trying to get stuff done. main character energy fr fr.
