iona 0.2.0

A high-performance, memory mirror circular buffer
Documentation
//! `IonaBuffer` is a high-performance, virtual memory-mirror implementation of a circular buffer,
//! which guarantees slices up to the capacity of the buffer are contiguous in memory. Wrapped reads
//! wrap to the same physical memory seamlessly.
//!
//! ```
//! use iona::IonaBuffer;
//!
//! let mut buffer: IonaBuffer<usize> = match IonaBuffer::with_capacity(512) {
//!     Ok(buffer) => buffer,
//!     Err(_) => panic!("Unable to allocate the buffer"),
//! };
//!
//! buffer.fill(0);
//!
//! buffer.iter_mut().enumerate().for_each(|(i, value)| *value = i);
//!
//! buffer.push_back(512); // this is now at the physical address 0
//! buffer.push_back(513); // this is now at the physical address 1
//!
//! // No allocation/ concatenation needed when reading from the end of the physical buffer (the
//! // value `511`) to the next two values that were pushed to the back!
//! assert_eq!(buffer.get_from(509).to(3), Some(vec!(511,512,513).as_ref()));
//! ```

//! KEY BENEFIT: A contiguous read/write spanning the page boundary
//! never needs to wrap — the mirror handles it transparently.
