34 * @short_description: An atomic queue implementation
36 * The #GstAtomicQueue object implements a queue that can be used from multiple
37 * threads without performing any blocking operations.
42 /* By default the queue uses 2 * sizeof(gpointer) * clp2 (max_items) of
43 * memory. clp2(x) is the next power of two >= than x.
45 * The queue can operate in low memory mode, in which it consumes almost
46 * half the memory at the expense of extra overhead in the readers. This
47 * is disabled by default because even without LOW_MEM mode, the memory
48 * consumption is still lower than a plain GList.
