NAME
     ck_ring_dequeue_spmc -- dequeue pointer from bounded FIFO

LIBRARY
     Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ck_ring.h>

     bool
     ck_ring_dequeue_spmc(ck_ring_t *ring, ck_ring_buffer_t *buffer,
	 void *result);

DESCRIPTION
     The  ck_ring_dequeue_spmc(3)  function  dequeues a pointer from the bounded
     buffer pointed to by ring in FIFO fashion. The pointer  is  stored  in  the
     pointer  pointed  to  by  result.	 The buffer pointed to by buffer must be
     unique to ring.  The decoupling of the ring from the buffer serves  to  ad-
     dress  use-cases  involving  multiple address spaces and DMA, among others.
     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 result.  This
     function is safe to call without locking for  UINT_MAX  concurrent  invoca-
     tions  of	ck_ring_dequeue_spmc(3)  or ck_ring_trydequeue_spmc(3) and up to
     one concurrent ck_ring_enqueue_spmc(3) or ck_ring_tryenqueue_spmc(3)  invo-
     cation. This function provides lock-free progress guarantees.

EXAMPLE
	   #include <ck_ring.h>

	   /* This ring was previously initialized with ck_ring_init. */
	   ck_ring_t ring;

	   /* The ring was initialized for 1023 elements. */
	   ck_ring_buffer_t buffer[1024];

	   void
	   dequeue(void)
	   {
		   void *result;

		   /* Dequeue from ring until it is empty. */
		   while (ck_ring_dequeue_spmc(&ring, &buffer, &result) == true) {
			   /*
			    * Results contains the oldest pointer in ring
			    * since the dequeue operation returned true.
			    */
			   operation(result);
		   }

		   /* An empty ring was encountered, leave. */
		   return;
	   }

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 result.   The  func-
     tion will return false if the buffer was empty and the value in result will
     be undefined.
