//! This crate implements a [circular buffer], also known as cyclic buffer, circular queue or ring.
//!
//! A **circular buffer** is a sequence of elements with a maximum capacity: elements can be added
//! to the buffer, and once the maximum capacity is reached, the elements at the start of the buffer
//! are dropped and overwritten.
//!
//! The main structs are [`CircularBuffer`], [`FixedCircularBuffer`], and [`HeapCircularBuffer`].
//! You can think of them as conceptually similar to [`slice`], [`array`], and [`Vec`] respectively:
//!
//! * A [`CircularBuffer`] provides a _reference_ to either a `FixedCircularBuffer` or a
//!   `HeapCircularBuffer`. It can be used to get/add/remove elements.
//! * A [`FixedCircularBuffer`] is an _owned_ fixed-capacity buffer that can live on the stack or
//!   can be constructed in `const` contexts.
//! * A [`HeapCircularBuffer`] is an _owned_ buffer that is heap-allocated and its capacity can be
//!   adjusted at runtime.
//!
//! `CircularBuffer` and `FixedCircularBuffer` can be used in a [`no_std` environment].
//! `HeapCircularBuffer` requires either the [`std` library] or the [`alloc` crate].
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use circular_buffer::FixedCircularBuffer;
//!
//! // Initialize a new, empty circular buffer with a capacity of 5 elements
//! let mut buf = FixedCircularBuffer::<u32, 5>::new();
//!
//! // Add a few elements
//! buf.push_back(1);
//! buf.push_back(2);
//! buf.push_back(3);
//! assert_eq!(buf, [1, 2, 3]);
//!
//! // Add more elements to fill the buffer capacity completely
//! buf.push_back(4);
//! buf.push_back(5);
//! assert_eq!(buf, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
//!
//! // Adding more elements than the buffer can contain causes the front elements to be
//! // automatically dropped
//! buf.push_back(6);
//! assert_eq!(buf, [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]); // `1` got dropped to make room for `6`
//! ```
//!
//! # Interface
//!
//! [`CircularBuffer`] provides methods akin to the ones for the standard
//! [`VecDeque`](std::collections::VecDeque) and [`LinkedList`](std::collections::LinkedList). The
//! list below includes the most common methods, but see the [`CircularBuffer` struct
//! documentation](CircularBuffer) to see more.
//!
//! ## Adding/removing elements
//!
//! * [`push_back()`](CircularBuffer::push_back), [`push_front()`](CircularBuffer::push_front)
//! * [`pop_back()`](CircularBuffer::pop_back), [`pop_front()`](CircularBuffer::pop_front)
//! * [`swap_remove_back()`](CircularBuffer::swap_remove_back),
//!   [`swap_remove_front()`](CircularBuffer::swap_remove_front)
//!
//! ## Getting/mutating elements
//!
//! * [`get()`](CircularBuffer::get), [`get_mut()`](CircularBuffer::get_mut)
//! * [`front()`](CircularBuffer::front), [`front_mut()`](CircularBuffer::front_mut)
//! * [`back()`](CircularBuffer::back), [`back_mut()`](CircularBuffer::back_mut)
//! * [`nth_front()`](CircularBuffer::nth_front), [`nth_front_mut()`](CircularBuffer::nth_front_mut)
//! * [`nth_back()`](CircularBuffer::nth_back), [`nth_back_mut()`](CircularBuffer::nth_back_mut)
//!
//! ## Adding multiple elements at once
//!
//! * [`extend()`](CircularBuffer::extend),
//!   [`extend_from_slice()`](CircularBuffer::extend_from_slice)
//! * [`fill()`](CircularBuffer::fill), [`fill_with()`](CircularBuffer::fill_with)
//! * [`fill_spare()`](CircularBuffer::fill_spare),
//!   [`fill_spare_with()`](CircularBuffer::fill_spare_with)
//!
//! ## Iterators
//!
//! * [`into_iter()`](FixedCircularBuffer::into_iter)
//! * [`iter()`](CircularBuffer::iter), [`iter_mut()`](CircularBuffer::iter_mut)
//! * [`range()`](CircularBuffer::range), [`range_mut()`](CircularBuffer::range_mut)
//! * [`drain()`](CircularBuffer::drain)
//!
//! ## Writing/reading bytes
//!
//! For the special case of a `CircularBuffer` containing `u8` elements, bytes can be written and
//! read using the standard [`Write`](std::io::Write) and [`Read`](std::io::Read) traits. Writing
//! past the buffer capacity will overwrite the bytes at the start of the buffer, and reading will
//! consume elements from the buffer.
//!
//! ```
//! # #[allow(unused_must_use)]
//! # #[cfg(feature = "std")]
//! # {
//! use circular_buffer::FixedCircularBuffer;
//! use std::io::Read;
//! use std::io::Write;
//!
//! let mut buf = FixedCircularBuffer::<u8, 5>::new();
//! assert_eq!(buf, b"");
//!
//! write!(buf, "hello");
//! assert_eq!(buf, b"hello");
//!
//! write!(buf, "this string will overflow the buffer and wrap around");
//! assert_eq!(buf, b"round");
//!
//! let mut s = String::new();
//! buf.read_to_string(&mut s)
//!     .expect("failed to read from buffer");
//! assert_eq!(s, "round");
//! assert_eq!(buf, b"");
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! For `no_std` environments, this crate provides optional integration with the [`embedded_io`] and
//! [`embedded_io_async`] crates.
//!
//! # Time complexity
//!
//! Most of the methods implemented by [`CircularBuffer`] run in constant time. Some of the methods
//! may run in linear time if the type of the elements implements [`Drop`], as each element needs
//! to be dropped one-by-one.
//!

//! Notation: *n* is the [length](CircularBuffer::len) of the buffer, *c* is the
//! [capacity](CircularBuffer::capacity) of the buffer, *i* and *j* are variables.
//!
//! # Stack vs heap
//!
//! The [`FixedCircularBuffer`] struct is compact and has a fixed size specified at compile time, so
//! it may live on the stack. This can provide optimal performance for small buffers as memory
//! allocation can be avoided.
//!
//! For large buffers, or for buffers that need to be passed around often, it can be useful to
//! allocate the buffer on the heap. Use a [`Box`](std::boxed) for that:
//!
//! ```
//! # #[cfg(feature = "std")]
//! # {
//! use circular_buffer::FixedCircularBuffer;
//!
//! let mut buf = FixedCircularBuffer::<u32, 4096>::boxed();
//! assert_eq!(buf.len(), 0);
//!
//! for i in 0..1024 {
//!     buf.push_back(i);
//! }
//! assert_eq!(buf.len(), 1024);
//!
//! buf.truncate_back(128);
//! assert_eq!(buf.len(), 128);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! For buffers whose capacity is not known at compile time, [`HeapCircularBuffer`] is the solution:
//!
//! ```
//! # #[cfg(feature = "alloc")]
//! # {
//! use circular_buffer::HeapCircularBuffer;
//!
//! let mut buf = HeapCircularBuffer::<char>::with_capacity(3);
//! buf.push_back('a');
//! buf.push_back('b');
//! buf.push_back('c');
//! buf.push_back('d');
//! assert_eq!(buf, ['b', 'c', 'd']);
//!
//! buf.resize(5);
//! buf.push_back('e');
//! buf.push_back('f');
//! buf.push_back('g');
//! assert_eq!(buf, ['c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g']);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # `no_std`
//!
//! This crate can be used in a [`no_std` environment], although the I/O features and
//! heap-allocation features won't be available by default in `no_std` mode. By default, this crate
//! uses `std`; to use this crate in `no_std` mode, disable the default features for this crate in
//! your `Cargo.toml`:
//!
//! ```text
//! [dependencies]
//! circular-buffer = { version = "2", default-features = false }
//! ```
//!
//! When using `no_std` mode, this crate supports heap-allocation features through the [`alloc`
//! crate](alloc). To enable the use of the `alloc` crate, enable the `alloc` feature:
//!
//! ```text
//! [dependencies]
//! circular-buffer = { version = "2", default-features = false, features = ["alloc"] }
//! ```
//!
//! # Cargo feature flags
//!
//! * `std`: enables support for the [`std` library] (enabled by default).
//! * `alloc`: enables support for the [`alloc` crate] (enabled by default).
//! * `embedded-io`: enables implementation of the [`embedded_io`] traits.
//! * `embedded-io-async`: enables implementation of the [`embedded_io_async`] traits.
