I'd like to be able to use this queue where the producer is in a separate process from the consumer (via Linux shared memory). What issues if any do you see when trying to do this?

Research direction
Start by reading the queue implementation and its documented assumptions about object lifetime, atomics, allocation, and process boundaries, then compare them with Linux shared-memory constraints. The issue names no files, tests, entry points, or acceptance criteria, so first establish the supported scope and a reproducible cross-process test before changing code.
