My feeling is that with optional auto-resize feature circular_buffer<> may hit the sweet spot of being good enough for 80% apps. The auto-resize would kick in only when user explicitly asked for it.
I suppose my resistance to that is partly aestetic. Having a container that is array-like with circularity is a tidier concept. Since the uses that I have for it do not requiring resizing, it seems extraneous in that context.
Having said all that, it's Jan that remains to be
convinced.. :-)In relation to the previous discussion I thought an alternative container may be a circular_deque that could have the kind of flexibility with resizing that also sounds desirable.
Does a circular_deque sound like the right solution to your particular application, rather than a vector-like resizing contiguous circular buffer?
Cheers,
Nigel
