Could somebody share his thoughts on the subject?
Would it be efficient? Is it possible to avoid memory copying to
provide immutability? To avoid cache missing ring buffer should be
like array, not list, so it's possible that the whole buffer should
be moved. Is it neccessary to be real immutable, may be some form of
fake immutabitiy is enough?
I'd like to try immutability in my app, and ring buffer is what I
don't know how to use in the realm of immutability.
Thanks
Maybe http://dlang.org/phobos/std_typecons.html#.Rebindable could help
you.
I guess it won't be efficient, because it would be ring buffer of (in
some form) pointers. It's suitable if elements of the buffer are
processed independently each other. In other case cache misses are
provided, I think.
