ringbufu

We have hosted the application ringbufu in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about ringbufu:

A Ring-Buffer instance could be used with element types
- char
- long
- long long
- void*
.
Focus is on a hardened SW structure with buffer-instance-pointer check (not very fast but more secure).
Some features are globally choosable on compile-time (e.g. switch multithread support off completely to have faster access).
Note: User Interface is for Test and Tutor Code only.

Features:

• Select Ring-Buffer type on creation-time (-> per Ring-Buffer instance)
• In C++ as well usable - ring-buffer source code in C, embraced with 'extern "C"'
• Multithreading support for windows (CriticalSection), C++ (std: : mutex) and POSIX (pthread_mutex)
• A tutor C-file should help to understand APIs and functionality easier
• Use as a FIFO of course, e.g. to realize asynchronous state-machines
• Wrapping of put/get/. functions easy because of function-ptr integration in public Ring-Buffer instance struct variable
• LIFO prepared (Stack-Buffer, NY-supported)
• See readme file ~under~ "files" for more information
• Only a few libraries needed (see code / makefile)

Audience: Developers.
User interface: Command-line.
Programming Language: C++, C.
