zig/lib/std/RingBuffer.zig

//! This ring buffer stores read and write indices while being able to utilise
//! the full backing slice by incrementing the indices modulo twice the slice's
//! length and reducing indices modulo the slice's length on slice access. This
//! means that whether the ring buffer is full or empty can be distinguished by
//! looking at the difference between the read and write indices without adding
//! an extra boolean flag or having to reserve a slot in the buffer.
//!
//! This ring buffer has not been implemented with thread safety in mind, and
//! therefore should not be assumed to be suitable for use cases involving
//! separate reader and writer threads.
