f18f102feb
This patch is based on some code contributed by Dirk Brandewie. This is a generic data structure for queuing data in a FIFO ring buffer. Any given data enqueued is annotated with an app-specific type identifier, and small integral value. Use of a data pointer is optional if the necessary information can be conveyed in the annotations. We want all the metadata to fit in a single DWORD. The ring buffer always contains at least one free dword in the buffer to correctly distinguish between full and empty queues. Concurrency control is almost nonexistent; depending on usage, apps may want to introduce the usage of semaphores and/or mutexes to preserve the integrity of the ring buffer or provide notifications when data is available.
