Lock-free SPSC FIFO ring buffer with direct access to inner data.
## Features
+ Lock-free operations - they succeed or fail immediately without blocking or waiting.
+ Arbitrary item type (not only `Copy`).
+ Items can be inserted and removed one by one or many at once.
+ Thread-safe direct access to the internal ring buffer memory.
+ `Read` and `Write` implementation.
+ Overwriting mode support.
+ Can be used without `std` and even without `alloc` (using only statically-allocated memory).
+ [Experimental `async`/`.await` support](https://github.com/agerasev/async-ringbuf).
## Usage
At first you need to create the ring buffer itself. `HeapRb` is recommended but you may [choose another one](#types).
After the ring buffer is created it may be splitted into pair of `Producer` and `Consumer`.
`Producer` is used to insert items to the ring buffer, `Consumer` - to remove items from it.
For `SharedRb` and its derivatives they can be used in different threads.
## Types
There are several types of ring buffers provided:
+ `LocalRb`. Only for single-threaded use.
+ `SharedRb`. Can be shared between threads. Its derivatives:
+ `HeapRb`. Contents are stored in dynamic memory. *Recommended for use in most cases.*
+ `StaticRb`. Contents can be stored in statically-allocated memory.
## Performance
`SharedRb` needs to synchronize CPU cache between CPU cores. This synchronization has some overhead.
To avoid multiple unnecessary synchronizations you may use postponed mode of operation (see description for `Producer` and `Consumer`)
or methods that operates many items at once (`Producer::push_slice`/`Producer::push_iter`, `Consumer::pop_slice`, etc.).
For single-threaded usage `LocalRb` is recommended because it is faster than `SharedRb` due to absence of CPU cache synchronization.
### Benchmarks
You may see typical performance of different methods in benchmarks:
```bash
cargo +nightly bench --features bench
```
Nightly toolchain is required.
## Examples
### Simple
```rust
use ringbuf::HeapRb;
# fn main() {
let rb = HeapRb::<i32>::new(2);
let (mut prod, mut cons) = rb.split();
prod.push(0).unwrap();
prod.push(1).unwrap();
assert_eq!(prod.push(2), Err(2));
assert_eq!(cons.pop(), Some(0));
prod.push(2).unwrap();
assert_eq!(cons.pop(), Some(1));
assert_eq!(cons.pop(), Some(2));
assert_eq!(cons.pop(), None);
# }
```
### No heap
```rust
use ringbuf::StaticRb;
# fn main() {
const RB_SIZE: usize = 1;
let mut rb = StaticRb::<i32, RB_SIZE>::default();
let (mut prod, mut cons) = rb.split_ref();
assert_eq!(prod.push(123), Ok(()));
assert_eq!(prod.push(321), Err(321));
assert_eq!(cons.pop(), Some(123));
assert_eq!(cons.pop(), None);
# }
```
## Overwrite
Ring buffer can be used in overwriting mode when insertion overwrites the latest element if the buffer is full.
```rust
use ringbuf::{HeapRb, Rb};
# fn main() {
let mut rb = HeapRb::<i32>::new(2);
assert_eq!(rb.push_overwrite(0), None);
assert_eq!(rb.push_overwrite(1), None);
assert_eq!(rb.push_overwrite(2), Some(0));
assert_eq!(rb.pop(), Some(1));
assert_eq!(rb.pop(), Some(2));
assert_eq!(rb.pop(), None);
# }
```
Note that [`push_overwrite`](`Rb::push_overwrite`) requires exclusive access to the ring buffer
so to perform it concurrently you need to guard the ring buffer with [`Mutex`](`std::sync::Mutex`) or some other lock.
## `async`/`.await`
There is an experimental crate [`async-ringbuf`](https://github.com/agerasev/async-ringbuf)
which is built on top of `ringbuf` and implements asynchronous ring buffer operations.
