/**
* SECTION:async_queues
* @title: Asynchronous Queues
* @short_description: asynchronous communication between threads
* @see_also: #GThreadPool
*
* Often you need to communicate between different threads. In general
* it's safer not to do this by shared memory, but by explicit message
* passing. These messages only make sense asynchronously for
* multi-threaded applications though, as a synchronous operation could
* as well be done in the same thread.
*
* Asynchronous queues are an exception from most other GLib data
* structures, as they can be used simultaneously from multiple threads
* without explicit locking and they bring their own builtin reference
* counting. This is because the nature of an asynchronous queue is that
* it will always be used by at least 2 concurrent threads.
*
* For using an asynchronous queue you first have to create one with
* g_async_queue_new(). #GAsyncQueue structs are reference counted,
* use g_async_queue_ref() and g_async_queue_unref() to manage your
* references.
*
* A thread which wants to send a message to that queue simply calls
* g_async_queue_push() to push the message to the queue.
*
* A thread which is expecting messages from an asynchronous queue
* simply calls g_async_queue_pop() for that queue. If no message is
* available in the queue at that point, the thread is now put to sleep
* until a message arrives. The message will be removed from the queue
* and returned. The functions g_async_queue_try_pop() and
* g_async_queue_timeout_pop() can be used to only check for the presence
* of messages or to only wait a certain time for messages respectively.
*
* For almost every function there exist two variants, one that locks
* the queue and one that doesn't. That way you can hold the queue lock
* (acquire it with g_async_queue_lock() and release it with
* g_async_queue_unlock()) over multiple queue accessing instructions.
* This can be necessary to ensure the integrity of the queue, but should
* only be used when really necessary, as it can make your life harder
* if used unwisely. Normally you should only use the locking function
* variants (those without the _unlocked suffix).
*
* In many cases, it may be more convenient to use #GThreadPool when
* you need to distribute work to a set of worker threads instead of
* using #GAsyncQueue manually. #GThreadPool uses a GAsyncQueue
* internally.
