//! A fixed-size ring buffer.
use std::collections::VecDeque;

/// A fixed-size ring buffer backed by a `VecDeque`.
///
/// If the ring buffer is not full, then calling the [`push_back`]
/// method appends elements, as in a [`VecDeque`]. If the ring buffer
/// is full, then calling [`push_back`] removes the element at the
/// front of the buffer (in a first-in, first-out manner) before
/// appending the new element to the back of the buffer.
///
/// Use [`from_iter`] to take the last `size` elements from an
/// iterator.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// After exceeding the size limit, the oldest elements are dropped in
/// favor of the newest element:
///
/// ```rust,ignore
/// let mut buffer: RingBuffer<u8> = RingBuffer::new(2);
/// buffer.push_back(0);
/// buffer.push_back(1);
/// buffer.push_back(2);
/// assert_eq!(vec![1, 2], buffer.data);
/// ```
///
/// Take the last `n` elements from an iterator:
///
/// ```rust,ignore
/// let iter = [0, 1, 2].iter();
/// let actual = RingBuffer::from_iter(iter, 2).data;
/// let expected = VecDeque::from_iter([1, 2].iter());
/// assert_eq!(expected, actual);
/// ```

    /// the ring buffer is full, appending a new element will cause the
    /// oldest element to be evicted. In that case this method returns
    /// that element, or `None`.
    ///
    /// In the special case where the size limit is zero, each call to
    /// this method with input `value` returns `Some(value)`, because
    /// the input is immediately evicted.

    /// # Examples
    ///
    /// Appending an element when the buffer is full returns the oldest
    /// element:

    /// ```rust,ignore
    /// let mut buf = RingBuffer::new(3);
    /// assert_eq!(None, buf.push_back(0));
    /// assert_eq!(None, buf.push_back(1));
    /// assert_eq!(None, buf.push_back(2));
    /// assert_eq!(Some(0), buf.push_back(3));
