Description : interface of the 'packetstream' thread-safe ring buffer
Packetstream is basically a solution to the Producer-Consumer problem
with a
fixed size ring buffer and variable item (=packet) size. This
implementation
follows classic solution using semaphores with a few exceptions:
1. Since the maximum amount of items the buffer can hold is not known,
semaphore "empty" (=read_packets) is only decreased when producer needs to
remove a consumed item to have space for a new one.
2. Multiple producers 1..n can simultaneously write to the buffer
providing
that there is enough free space and all producers 1..n-1 have set a
size for
their items.
3. Multiple consumers 1..n can simultaneously read from the buffer if
there is
1..n ready items.
I am packging this because it is a build dependency of glc:
https://github.com/nullkey/glc which I also hope to package, see
