I generally prefer plain English over acronyms -- especially since stack and queue are terms and concepts well-understood by computer scientists, but LIFO and FIFO may require mentally deducing which one is which. So my vote is on "stack" and "queue".
As for "ringbuffer", I would consider shortening it to just "ring".
Not bad. Alternatively, consistency with the C++ standard would argue for something like wait_free_queue. HTH, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
