That definitely looks like it's providing the same functionality my ring buffer did. It's impossible to say whether it is as efficient as mine was without profiling it. It's possible. Even if it's almost as efficient, or even half as efficient, I'd still consider using it. Writing this stuff consumes a lot of time. I notice the newest versions of this class added a "consume" function. I assume it's for the same reason my class did it. Instead of pushing/popping you can directly modify memory in the ring buffer. This avoids one copy operation.
