I suggest
T * circular_buffer<T>::data();
Poses the question of how a const circular_buffer could be accessed as a const array:
const T * const circular_buffer<T>::data()
{
??
}BTW - As question for the boost gurus, is there some way of capturnig a pointer+size for a memory block (perhaps pointing into a vector or raw memory) that is encapsulated? A circular_buffer can always be accessed as upto two contiguous memory blocks without the need to reorganise internally, and without any problem dealing with a const circular_buffer.
For some reason I've been inclined to do some pointer style programming lately, but it's awkward always maintaining ptr and size -- some concept of a block of memory (fixed size, const and/or non-const) would be handy.
