Queue Build Status

Queue handling library (designed on Arduino)

This library was designed for Arduino, yet may be compiled without change with gcc for other purposes/targets

Queue class has since start been called Queue. Unfortunately, on some platforms or when using FreeRTOS, Queue is already declared. For compatibility purposes, Queue class has been renamed to cppQueue. Sorry for the inconvenience...

Usage

  • Declare a cppQueue instance (size_t size_rec, uint16_t nb_recs=20, QueueType type=FIFO, bool overwrite=false, void * pQDat=NULL, size_t lenQDat=0) (called q below):
    • size_rec - size of a record in the queue
    • nb_recs - number of records in the queue
    • type - queue implementation type: FIFO, LIFO
    • overwrite - overwrite previous records when queue is full if set to true
    • pQDat - pointer to static data queue
    • lenQDat - length of static data queue (in bytes)
  • Push stuff to the queue using q.push(void * rec)
    • returns true if successfully pushed into queue
    • returns false is queue is full
  • Pop stuff from the queue using q.pop(void * rec) or q.pull(void * rec)
    • returns true if successfully popped from queue
    • returns false if queue is empty
  • Peek stuff from the queue using q.peek(void * rec)
    • returns true if successfully peeked from queue
    • returns false if queue is empty
  • Drop stuff from the queue using q.drop(void)
    • returns true if successfully dropped from queue
    • returns false if queue is empty
  • Peek stuff at index from the queue using q.peekIdx(void * rec, uint16_t idx)
    • returns true if successfully peeked from queue
    • returns false if index is out of range
    • warning: no associated drop function, not to use with q.drop
  • Peek latest stored from the queue using q.peekPrevious(void * rec)
    • returns true if successfully peeked from queue
    • returns false if queue is empty
    • warning: no associated drop function, not to use with q.drop
    • note: only useful with FIFO implementation, use q.peek instead with a LIFO
  • Other methods:
    • q.isInitialized(): true if initialized properly, false otherwise
    • q.isEmpty(): true if empty, false otherwise
    • q.isFull(): true if full, false otherwise
    • q.sizeOf(): queue size in bytes (returns 0 in case queue allocation failed)
    • q.getCount() or q.nbRecs(): number of records stored in the queue
    • q.getRemainingCount(): number of records left in the queue
    • q.clean() or q.flush(): remove all items in the queue

Notes

  • Interrupt safe automation is not implemented in the library. You have to manually disable/enable interrupts where required. No implementation will be made as it would be an issue when using peek/drop methods with LIFO implementation: if an item is put to the queue through interrupt between peek and drop calls, the drop call would drop the wrong (newer) item. In this particular case, dropping decision must be made before re-enabling interrupts.
