/*!
 * \brief Unbounded FIFO log record queueing strategy
 *
 * The \c unbounded_fifo_queue class is intended to be used with
 * the \c asynchronous_sink frontend as a log record queueing strategy.
 *
 * This strategy implements the simplest logic of log record buffering between
 * threads: the queue has no limits and imposes no ordering over the queued
 * elements aside from the order in which they are enqueued.
 * Because of this the queue provides decent performance and scalability,
 * however if sink backends can't consume log records fast enough the queue
 * may grow uncontrollably. When this is an issue, it is recommended to
 * use one of the bounded strategies.
