[Ocaml-lib-devel] Circular Buffer

[Bardur A. <oca...@sc...>]

Hi all,

I've written an efficient circular (character) buffer
module for a network-related application I'm developing,
and I was wondering if there might be interest in
including it in ExtLib?

The highlights:

- All but two operations are O(1), the only exceptions are
  blit and grow (for obvious reasons).

- No superfluous string copying.

- No string allocation except when creating or growing.

- Interface is very convenient for impementing buffering
  with Unix.read, Unix.write/single_write, or
  IO.input/output and similar functions. (It basically
  uses the same pattern that the ocamlnet/netstring
  Netbuffer module uses for add_inplace which is about as
  convenient as it gets).


I've attached the interface file which contains everything
*I* need, I'm open to suggestions for additions, however.

Any interest at all...?

Cheers,
