If I understood you other replies correctly, then you either want a
lock-free queue or a queue that uses pintool locks. Kisscpp provides
neither.
You either have to (1) implement your own queue based on pintool locks,
(2) use boost::lockfree::queue after checking that it is lock-free on
your target using the is_lock_free() member function, or (3) simplify
your architecture to avoid multiple producers / multiple consumers
altogether.
I would select option three using the leader/followers pattern, as it
greatly simplifies your code, and has better performance.
