End of Life Ruby 3.2 has reached end of life and gets no more fixes. Switch to Ruby 4.0 →

class method

Thread::Queue.new

Thread::Queue.new → empty_queue

Thread::Queue.new(enumerable) → queue

static VALUE
rb_queue_initialize(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
{
    VALUE initial;
    struct rb_queue *q = queue_ptr(self);
    if ((argc = rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "01", &initial)) == 1) {
        initial = rb_to_array(initial);
    }
    RB_OBJ_WRITE(self, &q->que, ary_buf_new());
    ccan_list_head_init(queue_waitq(q));
    if (argc == 1) {
        rb_ary_concat(q->que, initial);
    }
    return self;
}

Creates a new queue instance, optionally using the contents of an enumerable for its initial state.

Example:

Example

q = Thread::Queue.new
#=> #<Thread::Queue:0x00007ff7501110d0>
q.empty?
#=> true

q = Thread::Queue.new([1, 2, 3])
#=> #<Thread::Queue:0x00007ff7500ec500>
q.empty?
#=> false
q.pop
#=> 1

Ruby version changes

3.1
- Thread::Queue.new now accepts an Enumerable of initial values. [Feature #17327]
