The problem is that each end of the queue lives in a different thread. Writer thread cannot access read end of the queue and vice versa. Note that there's no mutex that would lock the whole queue and let you check whether it's empty. It's a lock-free queue (synchronisation between the threads is done using CPU's atomic operations and memory barriers).
