/**
* Single producer single consumer lock-free and wait-free ring buffer.
*
* This data structure allows producing data from one thread, and consuming it
* on another thread, safely and without explicit synchronization. If used on
* two threads, this data structure uses atomics for thread safety. It is
* possible to disable the use of atomics at compile time and only use this data
* structure on one thread.
*
* The role for the producer and the consumer must be constant, i.e., the
* producer should always be on one thread and the consumer should always be on
* another thread.
*
* Some words about the inner workings of this class:
* - Capacity is fixed. Only one allocation is performed, in the constructor.
* When reading and writing, the return value of the method allows checking if
* the ring buffer is empty or full.
* - We always keep the read index at least one element ahead of the write
* index, so we can distinguish between an empty and a full ring buffer: an
* empty ring buffer is when the write index is at the same position as the
* read index. A full buffer is when the write index is exactly one position
* before the read index.
* - We synchronize updates to the read index after having read the data, and
* the write index after having written the data. This means that the each
* thread can only touch a portion of the buffer that is not touched by the
* other thread.
* - Callers are expected to provide buffers. When writing to the queue,
* elements are copied into the internal storage from the buffer passed in.
* When reading from the queue, the user is expected to provide a buffer.
* Because this is a ring buffer, data might not be contiguous in memory,
* providing an external buffer to copy into is an easy way to have linear
* data for further processing.
