.Dt CK_RING_DEQUEUE_SPSC 3
.Sh NAME
.Nm ck_ring_dequeue_spsc
.Nd dequeue pointer from bounded FIFO
.Sh LIBRARY
Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In ck_ring.h
.Ft bool
.Fn ck_ring_dequeue_spsc "ck_ring_t *ring" "void *result"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn ck_ring_dequeue_spsc 3
function dequeues a pointer from the bounded buffer
pointed to by
.Fa ring
in FIFO fashion. The pointer is stored in the pointer
pointed to by
.Fa result .
If you are on non-POSIX platforms or wish for strict
compliance with C, then it is recommended to pass a
pointer of type void ** for
.Fa result .
This function is safe to call without locking for one
concurrent invocation of
.Fn ck_ring_dequeue_spsc 3
and up to one concurrent
.Fn ck_ring_enqueue_spsc 3
invocation. This function provides wait-free progress
guarantees.
.Sh EXAMPLE
.Bd -literal -offset indent
#include <ck_ring.h>
/* This ring was previously initialized with ck_ring_init. */
ck_ring_t ring;
void
dequeue(void)
{
void *result;
/* Dequeue from ring until it is empty. */
while (ck_ring_dequeue_spsc(&ring, &result) == true) {
/*
* Results contains the oldest pointer in ring
* since the dequeue operation returned true.
*/
operation(result);
}
/* An empty ring was encountered, leave. */
return;
}
.Ed
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The function returns true if the buffer was non-empty.
The result of the dequeue operation is stored in the
value pointed to by
.Fa result .
The function will return false if the buffer was empty
and the value in
.Fa result
will be undefined.
