Or block. Being full is symmetric to being empty (hint: being full
means that you run out of empty space, which means that the reserve of
empty space is... empty :-) ).

There are no infinite computers yet. You will get the out of memory
condition, which in C++ is reported with an exception. This is handled
cleanly: mutex will be automatically unlocked and consumers will not
be affected.
