 * @brief A thread-safe ring buffer.
 *
 * A fixed size, thread safe ring buffer. It can have multiple producers and multiple
 * consumers. All exclusion is done inside the ring buffer.
 *
 * This is a non-blocking data structure.
 *
 * If the user knows there is only one producer and one consumer, you can create the ring buffer with
 * `parcRingBuffer_CreateSingleProducerSingleConsumer`. Such a ring buffer can have at most 2 references.
