Syntax

template<typename T, typename AllocatorT>
class TRingBuffer

Remarks

RingBuffer - an array with a Front and Back pointer and with implicit wraparound to the beginning of the array when reaching the end of the array when iterating from Front to Back Useful for providing O(1) push/pop at the end of the array (for Queue or Stack) while still having high cache coherency during iteration. Not threadsafe; caller must ensure there is no simultaneous access from multiple threads.

Implementation Details: Relies on unsigned arithmetics and ever increasing Front and Back indices to avoid having to store an extra element or maintain explicit empty state. Capacity will always be rounded up to the next power of two, to provide rapid masking of the index.
