//  yqueue is an efficient queue implementation. The main goal is
//  to minimise number of allocations/deallocations needed. Thus yqueue
//  allocates/deallocates elements in batches of N.
//
//  yqueue allows one thread to use push/back function and another one
//  to use pop/front functions. However, user must ensure that there's no
//  pop on the empty queue and that both threads don't access the same
//  element in unsynchronised manner.
//
//  T is the type of the object in the queue.
//  N is granularity of the queue (how many pushes have to be done till
//  actual memory allocation is required).
#if defined HAVE_POSIX_MEMALIGN
// ALIGN is the memory alignment size to use in the case where we have
// posix_memalign available. Default value is 64, this alignment will
// prevent two queue chunks from occupying the same CPU cache line on
// architectures where cache lines are <= 64 bytes (e.g. most things
// except POWER). It is detected at build time to try to account for other
// platforms like POWER and s390x.
