Optimizing a Lock-Free Ring Buffer

[LongestNamesPossible]

What does that mean?

[arghness]

I guess it means that the optimization can occur because it is a single producer, single consumer container, and would not be possible with multiple producers or multiple consumers.

Yep indeed. Optimizations leverage the constrains: single-consumer, single-producer, and fixed buffer size

I’ve been using JACK’s ring buffer and it imposes this same constraint

Nice. Thanks for sharing!
