/** The stack class provides a multi-writer/multi-reader stack, pushing and popping is lock-free,
 *  construction/destruction has to be synchronized. It uses a freelist for memory management,
 *  freed nodes are pushed to the freelist and not returned to the OS before the stack is destroyed.
 *
 *  \b Policies:
 *
 *  - \c boost::lockfree::fixed_sized<>, defaults to \c boost::lockfree::fixed_sized<false> <br>
 *    Can be used to completely disable dynamic memory allocations during push in order to ensure lockfree behavior.<br>
 *    If the data structure is configured as fixed-sized, the internal nodes are stored inside an array and they are addressed
 *    by array indexing. This limits the possible size of the stack to the number of elements that can be addressed by the index
 *    type (usually 2**16-2), but on platforms that lack double-width compare-and-exchange instructions, this is the best way
 *    to achieve lock-freedom.
 *
 *  - \c boost::lockfree::capacity<>, optional <br>
 *    If this template argument is passed to the options, the size of the stack is set at compile-time. <br>
 *    It this option implies \c fixed_sized<true>
 *
 *  - \c boost::lockfree::allocator<>, defaults to \c boost::lockfree::allocator<std::allocator<void>> <br>
 *    Specifies the allocator that is used for the internal freelist
 *
 *  \b Requirements:
 *  - T must have a copy constructor
