A few notes:
- There's a race between no slots being available and overwriting the oldest element
- More generally, there's a race between the producer overwriting the oldest element and the consumer also trying to dequeue it
- This code is not exception safe (I believe neither is mine, to be fair)
- I don't quite understand how this would fit into the existing code (given there's no block manipulation)
from readerwriterqueue.
Hmm. I get the second race, (IE: the producer pauses, the consumer reads the entire queue including a possibly in mid modification oldest element).
I'm not sure what you mean by the first one though. Do you mean that an element might be overwritten even though a free slot has opened up since the semaphore was checked? Or is there a way for the consumer to be reading the element as it's being overwritten?
from readerwriterqueue.
The first race is a subset of the second, so it's not really important, but what I was referring to was:
slots_->tryWait()
fails, so the producer enters theif
- Meanwhile, the consumer consumes a single element (the oldest one, since this is a FIFO queue)
- The producer now either destructs the next element (despite a slot being available) or double-destructs the same element that was just consumed
from readerwriterqueue.
I see where my mistake is now. I knew destructing two elements at once is possible, and just the cost of multi-threaded programming, but I thought double-destructing was impossible because size_t increment is atomic.
Unfortunately, that is true only for specific architectures, so it's not safe to rely on.
Thank you for your help and advice.

size_t increment is not atomic but std::atomic<size_t>
increment is. Not sure how this would help here though.
