[boost] Re: Formal Review Request: circular_buffer

Jan,

I have uploaded a revised version of
circular_buffer/doc/circular_buffer.html
as part of a snapshot on the files area:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/circular_buffer_nigels.zip

I have also put the file itself here:
http://goanna.cs.rmit.edu.au/~nigels/tmp/circular_buffer.html

I hope I have not introduced any errors
of interpretation - I ended up putting a lot
more effort into this than I expected. :-)
Is it on the right track?

The main aspect that bothered me was the
inconsistant semantics of set_capacity and
resize:

- set_capacity will remove front elements if neccesary.
- resize will remove back elements if necessary.

Do have some rationale for that?

If there is general contentment with the direction
of things, I would like to re-read our threads,
do some more background readying and do another
lower priority draft of the document.

Nigel
