I get more problems with the code I downloaded from the git link you
posted on MSVC 9.0. I'm including the complete log at the end of this
message, the issue seems to be that it can't access the size_t typedef
from the base class because it is private. Changing the ringbuffer
functions to use std::size_t fixes the errors.

So what is the status of lockfree? What compilers is it tested with?
Can I rely on ringbuffer working now that I've got it to compile?
