Avoid them. There should be some calls for checkRingBufferWriteSpace(), make
sure it is large enough to cater for your object size. You still have a few
hoops and jumps to go through if the buffer is filling up but it is definitely
going to be easier that catering for partial writes. Consider also logging
messages when it is full and if it happens (too much or in my opinion at all)
then look into why the reader is going too slow. If it is a general issue then
you need to rearchitect what you are doing, if it is just a transient issue
then bang more capacity on the ringbuffer.
