boost::capy::circular_dynamic_buffer

A fixed‐capacity circular buffer satisfying DynamicBuffer.

Synopsis

Declared in <boost/capy/buffers/circular_dynamic_buffer.hpp>

class circular_dynamic_buffer;

Description

This class implements a circular ( ring ) buffer with fixed capacity determined at construction. Unlike linear buffers, data can wrap around from the end to the beginning, enabling efficient FIFO operations without memory copies.

Buffer sequences returned from data and prepare may contain up to two elements to represent wrapped regions.

Example

char storage[1024];
circular_dynamic_buffer cb( storage, sizeof( storage ) );

// Write data
auto mb = cb.prepare( 100 );
std::memcpy( mb.data(), "hello", 5 );
cb.commit( 5 );

// Read data
auto cb_data = cb.data();
// process cb_data...
cb.consume( 5 );
