You could probably do what you want with std.concurrency, since
most of what it does is deal with sending and receiving data
across threads, and that should be queuing up messages as part
of what it does. But if you're looking for a data structure
that you can mark as shared and have it handle all of the
locking for you so that it will work safely across threads,
then no, the standard library does not currently have anything
like that. It's rather lacking in containers in general at this
point, let alone ones designed with concurrency in mind. There
may be something on code.dlang.org, but I don't know.
Regardless, I'd suggest that you first try and see if you can
get std.concurrency to work for your use case rather than
jumping into implementing any containers yourself.
Thanks, I took a better look. I was wanting to port some c++ code
which is why I was looking for this. Actually it looks like
"send" and "receive" functions from this package do exactly what
I need (and are in fact exactly a thread safe queue...) :)
