It should be enqueue and dequeue. I was left  because first I try 
implement stack.

Of course (if  CAS (interlockedCompareExchange)  has proper 
implementation , that, I think, should be avoided
Queue is empty when tail=head,
when is not equal only one thread can receive object form queue,  second 
make again iteration


The same with ABA problem.
