// A minimalist thread-safe queue implemented using a lock-free ringbuffer which is faster
// and has lower memory allocations than golang's native channels
// Based on the LMAX disruptor pattern https://lmax-exchange.github.io/disruptor/disruptor.html

// Known Limitations:-
//
// 1. Max queue_size = 2^16
// 2. The queue_size is a power of 2, in case a different size is provided then queue_size is rounded up to the next greater power of 2 upto a max of 2^16

// Suggestions:-
//
// 1. Use runtime.LockOSThread() on the goroutine calling ZenQ.Read() for lowest latency provided you have > 1 cpu cores
