// src/spmc/mod.rs

//! A single-producer, multi-consumer (SPMC) "broadcast" channel.
//!
//! This channel is optimized for the "fan-out" or "publish-subscribe" pattern,
//! where one producer sends messages to many consumers. Every consumer that is
//! subscribed at the time of sending will see every message.
//!
//! ## Behavior
//!
//! - **Guaranteed Delivery**: This implementation guarantees that a message sent by the
//!   producer will be delivered to all active consumers. It does not drop messages.
//! - **Blocking Sender**: If any consumer is slow and the channel's buffer fills up
//!   from that consumer's perspective, the producer will block until the slow
//!   consumer catches up. This backpressure mechanism ensures no messages are lost.
//! - **`T: Clone` Requirement**: Since every message is delivered to every consumer, the
//!   message type `T` must implement the `Clone` trait.
//! - **Mixed Paradigms**: The channel supports full interoperability between synchronous
//!   and asynchronous code. You can have a synchronous `Sender` sending to an
//!   `AsyncReceiver`, or any other combination, by using the provided `to_sync()` and
//!   `to_async()` conversion methods.
//!
//! ## When to use SPMC
//!
//! - When you need to broadcast events or state updates to multiple listeners.
//! - For implementing a "fan-out" worker pattern where a central task distributes
//!   identical jobs to a pool of workers.
//! - In any situation where a single source of data needs to be multiplexed to
//!   multiple destinations without data loss.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ### Basic Synchronous Usage
//!
//! ```
//! use fibre::spmc;
//! use std::thread;
//!
//! // Create a channel with a buffer capacity of 2.
//! let (mut producer, mut receiver1) = spmc::bounded(2);
//! let mut receiver2 = receiver1.clone();
//!
//! assert_eq!(producer.len(), 0);
//! assert!(producer.is_empty());
//! assert!(!producer.is_full());
//! assert_eq!(receiver1.len(), 0);
//! assert!(receiver1.is_empty());
//!
//! // The producer sends messages.
//! producer.send("hello".to_string()).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(producer.len(), 1);
//! assert_eq!(receiver1.len(), 1);
//! assert_eq!(receiver2.len(), 1);
//!
//! producer.send("world".to_string()).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(producer.len(), 2); // Producer sees length based on slowest consumer
//! assert!(producer.is_full());    // Capacity is 2
//! assert_eq!(receiver1.len(), 2);
//! assert_eq!(receiver2.len(), 2);
//!
//! // Both receivers get a copy of every message.
//! let handle1 = thread::spawn(move || {
//!     assert_eq!(receiver1.recv().unwrap(), "hello");
//!     assert_eq!(receiver1.recv().unwrap(), "world");
//!     assert!(receiver1.is_empty());
//! });
//!
//! let handle2 = thread::spawn(move || {
//!     assert_eq!(receiver2.recv().unwrap(), "hello");
//!     assert_eq!(receiver2.recv().unwrap(), "world");
//! });
//!
//! handle1.join().unwrap();
//! handle2.join().unwrap();
//! ```
//!
//! ### Mixed Sync/Async Usage
//!
//! ```
//! use fibre::spmc;
//! use std::thread;
//! use std::time::Duration;
//!
//! # async fn run() {
//! // Create an async channel.
//! let (producer_async, mut receiver_async) = spmc::bounded_async(1);
//!
//! // Convert the async producer to a sync one for use in a standard thread.
//! let mut producer_sync = producer_async.to_sync();
//!
//! // A standard thread produces a message.
//! let producer_handle = thread::spawn(move || {
//!     thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(50));
//!     println!("[Sync Thread] Sending message...");
//!     producer_sync.send(123).unwrap();
//! });
//!
//! // The async receiver awaits the message.
//! println!("[Async Task] Waiting for message...");
//! let value = receiver_async.recv().await.unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(value, 123);
//! println!("[Async Task] Received: {}", value);
//!
//! producer_handle.join().unwrap();
//! # }
//! # tokio::runtime::Runtime::new().unwrap().block_on(run());
//! ```
