带有预分配缓冲区的循环缓冲区？

Question

是否有任何库具有可与预分配缓冲区一起使用的循环缓冲区类？我查看了 Boost::circular_buffer，但似乎它的所有构造函数都需要一个分配器。我不想重新发明循环缓冲区类，但必须使用预先分配的缓冲区。我想要类似的东西：

char buffer[1000];  // pre-allocated buffer.
circular_buffer_class cb; // a class that provides the interface as a circular buffer.
cb.attach(buffer, 1000); // attaching the preallocated buffer to the circular buffer class.
cb.do_something();

也许它可以通过一些特殊的分配器来实现？但是怎么做呢？

此外，我对其他类型的容器类感兴趣，例如固定大小的向量，可以与预分配缓冲区一起使用。

以下是一些与简单自定义分配器相关的链接，您可能会觉得有趣：

您可以使用此自定义分配器，它是衍生作品，可能非常接近您的意图：

        using other = fixed_allocator<other_type>;
    };

    ~fixed_allocator()                                  = default;

    void deallocate(value_type *buffer, std::size_t length)
    {
        (void) length;
        assert(buffer == this->buffer_);
        assert(this->in_use_);
        this->in_use_ = false;
    }

private:
    value_type* buffer_;
    std::size_t buffer_length_;
    bool        in_use_;
};

您现在可以将此分配器的专用实例传递给 boost::circular_buffer 构造函数。
