github wyzdwdz/nanozlog producer queue lock-free mutex implementation

💡 Result:

`wyzdwdz/nanozlog` describes its **producer path as a lock-free enqueue into a background queue**, and identifies that queue as **SPSC**—single producer, single consumer. Its README also says the queue is bounded and configurable, with nonblocking behavior by default when full. ([github.com](https://github.com/wyzdwdz/nanozlog))

So, **the producer enqueue is not described as using a mutex**. The README doesn’t establish the queue’s exact atomic operations or memory ordering; for those implementation details, see the repository’s [`src` directory](https://github.com/wyzdwdz/nanozlog/tree/main/src).

site:github.com/wyzdwdz/nanozlog "Mutex" queue producer enqueue Zig

💡 Result:

The repository’s README describes `nanozlog` as a **lock-free asynchronous logger**: the frontend sends log data to a background queue without acquiring locks. It calls the queue **SPSC** (single-producer, single-consumer), so the README does **not** establish a mutex-protected multi-producer enqueue path. It documents what happens when the queue is full—blocking is configurable, and a callback can be invoked—but the exact enqueue implementation wasn’t accessible in the retrieved source.

Qualify the lock-free claim.

Producer queue allocation is lock-free after setup, but the first log from a thread calls preallocate, which acquires _buffer_mutex. The first log at each source location also calls registerLogInfo, which acquires _log_infos_mutex. Without this qualification, readers may expect every producer call to avoid mutex latency.

Review comment at @README.md at line 265:
Update the nanozlog README description to qualify the lock-free claim as
applying to steady-state queue writes after setup, and describe nanozlog as
asynchronous rather than implying every producer call avoids mutex latency.
Preserve the existing references to Zig, C++ FmtLog, interval and one-time
logging, and the queue-full callback.
