The Queue class

(PECL pht >= 0.0.1)

Introduction

The pht\Queue class is one of the Inter-Thread Communication (ITC) data structures exposed by pht. It can be safely passed around between threads, and manipulated by multiple threads using the mutex locks that have been packed in with the data structure. It is reference-counted across threads, and so it does not need to be explicitly destroyed.
