How do I test a lock-free queue?

What are the best practices for testing a lock-free queue?

Best practices include stress testing, using multiple threads, and checking for memory leaks.

How can I simulate concurrent access to the queue?

You can use threading libraries to create multiple threads that perform enqueue and dequeue operations simultaneously.

What tools can I use to analyze the performance of my lock-free queue?

Tools like Valgrind, ThreadSanitizer, and custom benchmarking scripts can help analyze performance.

Are there specific metrics I should focus on?

Yes, focus on throughput, latency, and contention rates to evaluate the performance of your lock-free queue.
