Comment:
Tail and head indexes are (masked from) uint32_t and do not wrap around when 
the ring is full. I think you assume that the store index is 0...size-1, while 
it's full uint32_t which is then masked to get the actual index.

For example:
size = 100;

Empty:
head = 100
tail = 100
num = 100 - 100 = 0

Full:
head = 100
tail = 200
num = 200 - 100 = 100

Wrap uint32_t + full:
head = 0xFFFFFF9C
tail = 0
num = 0 - 0xFFFFFF9C = 0x64 = 100

So, no abs() needed. Ring size can be 4096, instead of 4095.
