Detailed Description

template<typename TYPE, unsigned int LEN>
class z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >

A circular buffer of fixed size. Appending can be done indefinitely, as the index will just loop back around to the beginning.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

circularBuffer() [1/2]

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

template<typename... ARGS>

z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::circularBuffer ( const ARGS &...  args )

inlinenoexcept

Initialize the buffer with the contents of an array.

This allows for brace-enclosed initialization e.g. circularBuffer<int, 3> buffer = {1, 2, 3};

Parameters

args	A list of elements to append to the buffer.

circularBuffer() [2/2]

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::circularBuffer ( TYPE  default_value )

inlinenoexcept

Initialize all elements with a single value.

Parameters

default_value

The value to initialize elements with.

Member Function Documentation

append()

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

void z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::append ( const TYPE  value )

inlinenoexcept

Add a value to the buffer, and increment the current index.

Parameters

value

The value to append.

at() [1/2]

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

const TYPE & z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::at ( const int  index ) const

inlineoverridevirtualnoexcept

Get an element from the buffer.

This method is used when we're not modifying the resultant value.

Parameters

index

The index of the value we want.

Returns

The value at that index.

Implements z::core::indexable< T >.

at() [2/2]

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

TYPE & z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::at ( const int  index )

inlinenoexcept

Get a modifiable element from the buffer.

This method is used when we ARE modifying the resultant value. The compiler knows the difference and will use this function only when needed.

Parameters

index

The index of the value we want.

Returns

The value at that index.

begin()

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

circularIterator< TYPE, LEN > z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::begin ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtualnoexcept

Get an iterator for the first element in this object.

This member function should not be used directly. It is meant for C++11's range-based for loop syntax.

Returns

An iterator on the first element.

Implements z::core::iterable< ITER >.

count()

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

int z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::count ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the total number of items in the buffer.

This will return at most the maximum buffer size.

Returns

The number of items in the buffer.

current()

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

TYPE & z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::current ( )

inlinenoexcept

Get a reference to the topmost item in the buffer.

Returns

The topmost item.

end()

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

circularIterator< TYPE, LEN > z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::end ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtualnoexcept

Get an iterator after the last element of this object.

This member function should not be used directly. It is meant for C++11's range-based for loop syntax.

Returns

An iterator after the last element.

Implements z::core::iterable< ITER >.

index()

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

int z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::index ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the index of the current top of the buffer.

This index will always be a value from 0 to the length of the buffer.

Returns

The current index.

length()

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

int z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::length ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtualnoexcept

Get the length of the array.

Returns

The number of objects in the array.

Implements z::core::arrayLike< const TYPE &, circularIterator< TYPE, LEN > >.

maximum()

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

TYPE z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::maximum ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the maximum value contained in this buffer.

Note

This method is only available for arithmetic types.

Returns

The maximum value in the buffer.

minimum()

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

TYPE z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::minimum ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the minimum value contained in this buffer.

Note

This method is only available for arithmetic types.

Returns

The minimum value in the buffer.

populate() [1/2]

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

void z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::populate ( const TYPE &  arg )

inlinenoexcept

Append an element to the buffer.

This is the tail end of calling populate() with 2 or more arguments.

Parameters

arg	The element to append.

populate() [2/2]

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

template<typename... ARGS>

void z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::populate ( const TYPE &  first, const ARGS &...  args  )

inlinenoexcept

Append an arbitrary number of elements to the buffer.

Parameters

first	The first element to append.
args	All other elements to append.

size()

template<typename TYPE , unsigned int LEN>

size_t z::core::circularBuffer< TYPE, LEN >::size ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtualnoexcept

Get the size of the object in memory.

Returns

The number of bytes in memory this object currently consumes.

Implements z::core::sizable.
