Additional comments

1. The package is widely used in diverse high-performance applications (11.5K GitHub stars) that require a concurrent queue to enforce producer-consumer design patterns, as it is relatively lightweight and conforms to the C++11 standard.
2. The library is header-only, thus easier to pack.
3. Packing such a library can allow downstream packages to depend on this library when being compiled, preventing them from shipping their own copy of this library.
4. The package is dual-licensed under a simplified BSD license and Boost Software License.

Hi! @YU-Zhejian I would like to work on adding libconcurrentqueue-dev to conda-forge.

Since the library is header-only, I plan to package it by installing the headers and including the BSD + Boost license files. Before I proceed with a staged-recipes PR, could you please confirm whether conda-forge prefers this to be a noarch: generic package or platform-specific?

Once confirmed, I will prepare the recipe and submit the PR. Thanks!!

Dear @aman-coder03,

Thanks for replying, I suppose as the library is header-only and it seems that the header can work on any compiler with C++11 support, the package should be made noarch.

Thanks for reading this message and I wish you a nice day.

Yours sincerely,
YU Zhejian
