It stores per-frame contexts\n+ * used by the Algorithm operations. By centralizing the lifetime management of\n+ * the contexts and implementing safeguards against underflows and overflows, it\n+ * simplifies IPA modules and improves their reliability.\n+ *\n+ * The queue references frame contexts by a monotonically increasing sequence\n+ * number. The FCQueue design assumes that this number matches both the sequence\n+ * number of the corresponding frame, as generated by the camera sensor, and the\n+ * sequence number of the request. This allows IPA modules to obtain the frame\n+ * context from any location where a request or a frame is available.\n+ *\n+ * A frame context normally begins its lifetime when the corresponding request\n+ * is queued, way before the frame is captured by the camera sensor. IPA modules\n+ * allocate the context from the queue at that point, calling alloc() using the\n+ * request number. The queue initializes the context, and the IPA module then\n+ * populates it with data from the request. The context can be later retrieved\n+ * with a call to get(), typically when the IPA module is requested to provide\n+ * sensor or ISP parameters or receives statistics for a frame. The frame number\n+ * is used at that point to identify the context.\n+ *\n+ * If an application fails to queue requests to the camera fast enough, frames\n+ * may be produced by the camera sensor and processed by the IPA module without\n+ * a corresponding request having been queued to the IPA module. This creates an\n+ * underrun condition, where the IPA module will try to get a frame context that\n+ * hasn't been allocated. In this case, the get() function will allocate and\n+ * initialize a context for the frame, and log a message. Algorithms will not\n+ * apply the controls associated with the late request, but should otherwise\n+ * behave correctly.\n+ *\n+ * \\todo Mark the frame context with a per-frame control error flag in case of\n+ * underrun, and research how algorithms should handle this.\n+ *\n+ * At its core, the queue uses a circular buffer to avoid dynamic memory\n+ * allocation at runtime. The buffer is pre-allocated with a maximum number of\n+ * entries when the FCQueue instance is constructed. Entries are initialized on\n+ * first use by alloc() or, in underrun conditions, get(). The queue is not\n+ * allowed to overflow, which must be ensured by pipeline handlers never\n+ * queuing more in-flight requests to the IPA module than the queue size. If an\n+ * overflow condition is detected, the queue will log a fatal error.\n+ */\n+\n+/**\n+ * \\fn FCQueue::FCQueue(unsigned int size)\n+ * \\brief Construct a frame contexts queue of a specified size\n+ * \\param[in] size The number of contexts in the queue\n+ */\n+\n+/**\n+ * \\fn FCQueue::clear()\n+ * \\brief Clear the contexts queue\n+ *\n+ * IPA modules must clear the frame context queue at the beginning of a new\n+ * streaming session, in IPAModule::start().\n+ *\n+ * \\todo Fix any issue this may cause with requests queued before the camera is\n+ * started.\n+ */\n+\n+/**\n+ * \\fn FCQueue::alloc(uint32_t frame)\n+ * \\brief Allocate and return a FrameContext for the \\a frame\n+ * \\param[in] frame The frame context sequence number\n+ *\n+ * The first call to obtain a FrameContext from the FCQueue should be handled\n+ * through this function.
