Also worth mentioning... for C++ fans out there...

The ringbuffer shipped with libjack is a C port of the 
RingBuffer<T> container from libpbd in Ardour (written by 
Paul Davis and Benno Senoner).

This implementation uses the glib atomic ops and some glib 
types.  Since my app doesn't currently use glib, I was 
looking at replacing those with some equivalent.  That's 
partially how this thread got started. :-)

Peace,
