This: $q->dequeue() blocks internally on a cond_wait(), if no data is available in the queue. Signals will not interrupt threads::cond_wait().

That said, how will that queue ever receive anything?

It is created inside the thread and immediately goes into a dequeue(). As it was created inside the thread, no other thread has a handle to it, so no data can ever be queued to it.

Your design is broken.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
