Why not provide the wait_enqueue API? Is there any difficulty? #298

caipengbo commented 2 years ago

When I use blockingconcurrentqueue, I notice that the wait_enqueue API is not provided, which will blocks when it find no space.

What I want to know is, are we not implementing the API because of any difficulties or is it difficult to implement the API in the current implementation?

It would be non-trivial to implement. See #53.

There would also be extra overhead for every enqueue and dequeue operation.

Thank you. I should have searched the content of closed issue first, so I bothered you.

No bother!
