Sure, but I somehow never encounter a problem where I need a real lockfree data structure other than a ringbuffer or a variation thereof. Interlocked queues are almost giving me enough.

What do you mean by interlocked queue?

On Windows, the atomic instrinsic APIs all begin with "interlocked", and although I'm not sure what you mean, it's making me think of that.
