This implementation should be avoided; it is weird, buggy, and unnecessarily complicated. In particular, using some pseudocode to simplify: rb = new RingBuffer(... capacity=3, orderedReads=false/*the default*/) rb.put_all(A, B, C, D) rb.get() // D rb.put(E) rb.get_all(3) // E, C, D again I haven't looked for bugs with orderedReads=true (besides the obvious memory leak), but given the footguns and unnecessarily complications this should be avoided regardless.
