A simple little program to test various ways to call functions to see how much overhead they introduce.
One way is to have a worker thread and communicate to it with a queue. For this I use the lock-free queue implementation from https://github.com/cameron314/readerwriterqueue.
This is a git subrepo, so you will also need git to check it out.
To run this on a system with make and a program that calls itself g++ and
accepts g++ flags, just type make.
