Milestone:  To Be Determined               |  Component:  circular_buffer
  Version:  Boost Development Trunk        |   Severity:  Not Applicable
 Keywords:  circular_buffer emplace c++11  |
-------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 I think a great addition to circular_buffer would be to support
 emplace(...)/emplace_back()/emplace_front() to make it more C++11
 compliant.

 At the first quick glance I took at the source, implementation seems
 straight-forward, more or less c&p the code from
 insert/push_back/push_front and construct the items in-place instead. The
 tricky part however would be to stay compliant with older C++ versions, if
 that is a desired feature (and it seems to be considering that e.g.
 Boost.Move can be used instead of the C++11 move semantics). I do not have
 an idea how to do this as I'm not an experienced boost developer (or
 actually even user for that matter).

 If older C++-compliance is not needed and my assumption of simply "c&ping
 insert/push_back/push_front" is confirmed by a boost developer, I could
 probably provide a patch a few weeks from now (my time is a bit limited at
 the moment) if required. If the compliance is needed however, I would
 prefer that a more experienced developer would implement it.
