+ \inmodule Qt3DCore
+ \brief A template class providing a dynamic circular array.
+
+ \ingroup tools
+ \ingroup shared
+
+ \reentrant
+
+ QCircularBuffer\<T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}. It
+ stores its items in adjacent memory locations and provides fast
+ index-based access.
+
+ QCircularBuffer\<T\> provides similar functionality as QVector\<T\> and QList\<T\>,
+ but behaves differently when adding items to a full QCircularBuffer. Whereas
+ QVector\<T\> and QList\<T\> will both grow to accommodate the new items,
+ QCircularBuffer\<T\> will overwrite the oldest items. This provides circular
+ behavior to the container, and also means that it can maintain a flat memory
+ profile.
+
+ QCircularBuffer\<T\> also offers performance gains over the other container classes when
+ doing lots of appending or prepending to the buffer, such as in data logging
+ applications. This is because appending (or prepending) an item does not require any
+ extra memory to be allocated, unlike, for example, QVector\<T\> or QList\<T\>.
+ Appending and prepending items to a QCircularBuffer\<T\> is an O(1) operation.
+
+ As with QVector\<T\>, items in QCircularBuffer\<T\> occupy adjacent positions in memory.
+ However, the items may not be located in order in a single array. At times, the internal
+ indices used to store the positions of the first and last items may wrap around as the
+ QCircularBuffer\<T\> is modified. If the index of the last item is greater than the
+ index of the first item, then the buffer is said to be non-linearized.
+
+ Here's an example of a QCircularBuffer that stores integers and a QCircularBuffer
+ that stores QString values:
+
+ \snippet code/src_core_qcircularbuffer.cpp 0
+
+ The above examples create QCircularBuffer objects with a capacity of 0. The capacity
+ is the number of items that can be stored in a QCircularBuffer. The size of a
+ QCircularBuffer object is the number of items that actually are stored in it. Here's
+ an example of creating a QCircularBuffer with a capacity for 200 elements and a size of 0:
+
+ \snippet code/src_core_qcircularbuffer.cpp 1
+
+ By default the QCircularBuffer is empty. If you want to create a circular buffer with
+ unused capacity, pass a size argument to the constructor.
+
+ \snippet code/src_core_qcircularbuffer.cpp 2
+
+ If you wish to fill a subset of the QCircularBuffer with a default value, then you
+ should also pass a size argument to the constructor. The following example creates
+ a QCircularBuffer with a capacity for 200 QString items, and initializes the first 50
+ of them to the value "Qt":
+
+ \snippet code/src_core_qcircularbuffer.cpp 3
+
+ You can also call fill() at any time to fill the QCircularBuffer with a value.
+
+ QCircularBuffer uses 0-based indexes, just like C++ arrays. To access the
+ item at a particular index position, you can use \l{operator[]()}{operator[]}. On
+ non-const buffers, \l{operator[]()}{operator[]} returns a reference to the item
+ that can be used on the left side of an assignment:
+
+ \snippet code/src_core_qcircularbuffer.cpp 4
+
+ For read-only access, an alternative syntax is to use at():
+
+ \snippet code/src_core_qcircularbuffer.cpp 5
+
+ at() can be faster than \l{operator[]()}{operator[]}, because it never causes
+ a \l{deep copy} to occur.
+
+ Another way to access the data stored in a QCircularBuffer is to call data(),
+ or dataOne() and dataTwo() depending on if the buffer is linearized or not.
+ See the discussion in isLinearised() for more information. The data() function
+ returns an \l array_range object describing the array of items stored
+ in the QCircularBuffer. You can use the pointer in the array_range to
+ directly access and modify the elements stored in the circular buffer. The pointer is also
+ useful if you need to pass a QCircularBuffer to a function that accepts a plain
+ C++ array.
+
+ If the circular buffer is non-linearized, the data() function will
+ linearize it before returning. This can be an expensive operation for large buffers.
+ To avoid this cost, QCircularBuffer also provides alternative methods called
+ dataOne() and dataTwo() that return pointers to the two contiguous arrays used
+ to represent the buffer. dataOne() returns a pointer to the earlier (or oldest)
+ items, and dataTwo() returns a pointer to the later (or newer) items. The dataOne()
+ and dataTwo() functions never cause the circular buffer to be linearized.
+
+ If you wish to pass a C++ array to a function and that function is expensive to call,
+ then you may wish to use the data() method so that you only need to call your
+ expensive function once. If your function is cheap and you have a large circular
+ buffer (so that linearizing it is expensive), then you may wish to use dataOne() and
+ dataTwo() and call your function twice.
+
+ Here is a simple example that shows the semantics of how QCircularBuffer operates:
+
+ \snippet code/src_core_qcircularbuffer.cpp 6
+
+ Notice how appending items to a full buffer overwrites the earliest items.
+
+ If you want to find all occurrences of a particular value in a
+ circular buffer, use indexOf() or lastIndexOf(). The former searches
+ forward starting from a given index position, the latter searches
+ backward. Both return the index of the matching item if they found
+ one; otherwise, they return -1. For example:
+
+ \snippet code/src_core_qcircularbuffer.cpp 7
+
+ If you simply want to check whether a circular buffer contains a
+ particular value, use contains(). If you want to find out how
+ many times a particular value occurs in the circular buffer, use count().
+
+ QCircularBuffer provides these basic functions to add, move, and remove
+ items: insert(), replace(), remove(), prepend(), append(). The insert() and
+ remove() functions can be slow (\l{linear time}) for large circular buffers,
+ because they require moving many items in the circular buffer by one or more positions
+ in memory. The implementation does however take care to minimize the number of
+ items that need to be moved. In the extreme worst case for insert() and remove(),
+ half of the items will be moved in memory. QCircularBuffer also takes care
+ to move items around using the best method available for the type being stored.
+ If your type is movable, then it is best to tell Qt about this by using the
+ Q_DECLARE_TYPEINFO() macro. In such cases memory moves are performed using
+ memmove() rather than calling the copy constructor for each item. If you want
+ a container class that always provides fast insertion/removal in the middle,
+ use QList or QLinkedList instead.
+
+ Unlike plain C++ arrays, QCircularBuffers can be resized at any time by
+ calling resize() or setCapacity(). The resize() function can only allocate
+ items up to the number specified by capacity(). If you wish to alter the
+ capacity of the CircularBuffer, then use setCapacity(). This can be slow as
+ new memory needs to be allocated. It is most common to specify the capacity
+ of the circular buffer in the constructor or immediately after construction,
+ and then simply keep appending to the buffer. If you wish to reclaim any
+ unused memory from the circular buffer, then call squeeze(). This is
+ equivalent to calling \l {setCapacity()}{setCapacity}( size() ).
+
+ Note that using non-const operators and functions can cause
+ QCircularBuffer to do a deep copy of the data. This is due to
+ \l{implicit sharing}.
+
+ QCircularBuffer's value type must be an \l{assignable data type}. This
+ covers most data types that are commonly used, but the compiler
+ won't let you, for example, store a QWidget as a value; instead,
+ store a QWidget *. Some functions have additional requirements;
+ for example, indexOf() and lastIndexOf() expect the value type to
+ support \c operator==(). These requirements are documented on a
+ per-function basis.
+
+ QCircularBuffer provides \l{STL-Style Iterators} (\l {const_iterator}
+ and \l {iterator}). In practice, these are rarely used,
+ because you can use indexes into the buffer.
+
+ QCircularBuffer does \e not support inserting, prepending, appending, or
+ replacing with references to its own values. Doing so will cause your
+ application to abort with an error message.

+ Returns \c true if the circular buffer is linearized; otherwise returns
+ \c false.
+
+ A circular buffer is said to be linearized if the position of the first
+ item in the internal array occurs before the position of the last item. A
+ little more explanation is provided for clarification.
+
+ Internally, QCircularBuffer stores the items in a plain C++ array.
+ Additionally, the positions in the array of the first and last items of
+ the circular buffer are also stored (along with the capacity and size).
+
+ Imagine a circular buffer of capacity 6 created and populated with the
+ following code:
+
+ \snippet code/src_core_qcircularbuffer.cpp 19
+
+ After executing the above code, the internal state of the circular buffer
+ would look like this:
+
+ \img circularbuffer-1.png
+
+ As you can see, the internal array has been populated from the beginning.
+ The first item is located as position 0 in the array and the last item
+ is located at position 4 in the array. The circular buffer is linearized
+ because the last item occurs later in the array than the first item.
+
+ If we now append another item to the circular buffer with:
+
+ \snippet code/src_core_qcircularbuffer.cpp 20
+
+ the internal representation then becomes:
+
+ \img circularbuffer-2.png
+
+ The circular buffer is still linearized, but it is now full. Appending
+ further items will cause the oldest item to be overwritten. For example,
+
+ \snippet code/src_core_qcircularbuffer.cpp 21
+
+ causes the internal representation to become:
+
+ \img circularbuffer-3.png
+
+ We see that the oldest item (1) has been overwritten by the newest item
+ (7), and that the first and last indexes have been adjusted accordingly.
+ The circular buffer is now said to be non-linearized because the position
+ of the last item is before the position of the first item.
+
+ The circular buffer can always be linearized by calling the linearise()
+ function. This can be an expensive operation (\l{linear time}) for large
+ circular buffers since new memory has to be allocated, the items copied across,
+ and the original memory deallocated.
+
+ If you need to directly access the items stored in a circular buffer,
+ (perhaps for a plain C++ function call) then you can use the data()
+ function. If the circular buffer is non-linearized, then the data()
+ function will linearize it for you before returning an \l array_range
+ describing the array.
+
+ To prevent the cost of the linearisation process, you can instead
+ call the dataOne() and dataTwo() functions to obtain the two arrays
+ used to represent a non-linearized circular buffer. After running the
+ above sample code, calling the dataOne() function would return an
+ \l array_range object describing the values 2-6, and the dataTwo() function
+ would return an \l array_range object describing the value 7. Sometimes,
+ accessing the items via the two arrays described by dataOne() and dataTwo(),
+ can be quicker than calling data() and having the circular buffer
+ linearized. The dataOne() and dataTwo() functions do not trigger a
+ linearization.
