Description

If a function is marked static, the header put into the global fragment and a template ends up causing instantiation and thus call of this static function, well, with modules this does not work.

Here's a patch : https://github.com/cameron314/concurrentqueue/commit/324c8187e294a78618c99d19dd7cd43809784333

Review the header functions marked static and compare their treatment with the patch at commit 324c8187e294a78618c99d19dd7cd43809784333. Verify that the resulting headers remain compatible with C++ modules, including template instantiation and calls to those functions.
