It is more like:

    struct my_request request;
    struct my_reply reply;

    /* request is dead, reply is dead */

    put_stuff_into_request(&request, args);

    /* request is live, reply is dead */

    do_some_bullshit_with_request(&request, args);

    /* request is live, reply is dead */

    err = enqueue_request_and_reply(queue, args, &request, &reply);

    /* request is live, reply is live */

    do_some_bullshit();

    /* request is live, reply is live */

    err = dequeue_request_and_reply(queue, args, &request, &reply);

    /* request is dead, reply is live */

    do_some_bullshit_with_reply(&reply, args);

    /* request is dead, reply is live */

    get_stuff_out_of_reply(&reply, args);

    /* request is dead, reply is dead */

It is OK if both threads are in one function, but it is easy to make a
benign change that breaks things, or worse, usually works.
