Hi, I am not finding documentation for boost::circular_buffer which is in the sandbox (Though I had seen some documentation of it a few months back). Can somebody point out a link for the documentation ? or give a line or two showing difference between space_optimized_circular_buffer and circular_buffer ?

Does circular_buffer come from the new GIL (Generic Image Library)? If so, that's the one from Abobe's ASL, and there are docs at opensource.adobe.com http://opensource.adobe.com. Otherwise, I don't know. And either way, I don't know what the differences are.

No. It is the one in boost sand_box provided by Jan Gaspar. It has a few more facility than the ASL one. Like it can reorganize itself to a linear buffer, and can (re)set the capacity to a new one, among few others. I am not sure why boost is still not including directly, or not pushing it for any standard. In my opinion it is the second most important data structure after hash_map (which also surprisingly missed from STL ) esp for programming with small memory devices. Also it looks my question is posted in wrong thread. Will try to post in a separate thread. Thanks abir

Thanks abir
