Overview

A non-blocking, buffered buffer of fixed maximum capacity. When the maximum capacity is reached subsequent #put and #offer operations will complete and the item will be put, but the oldest elements in the buffer will be discarded (not transferred).

Instance Method Details

#blocking? ⇒ Boolean

Predicate indicating if this buffer will block #put operations once it reaches its maximum capacity.

Always returns false.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if this buffer blocks else false

def blocking?
  false
end

#full? ⇒ Boolean

Predicate indicating if the buffer is full.

Always returns false.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if this buffer is full else false




# File 'lib/concurrent-ruby-edge/concurrent/channel/buffer/sliding.rb', line 28

#offer(item) ⇒ Boolean

Put an item onto the buffer if possible. If the buffer is open but unable to add an item, probably due to being full, the method will return immediately. Similarly, the method will return immediately when the buffer is closed. A return value of false does not necessarily indicate that the buffer is closed, just that the item could not be added.

When the buffer is full, this method will return true immediately and the item will be inserted, but the oldest elements in the buffer will be discarded (not transferred).

Parameters:

  • item (Object) —

    the item/value to put onto the buffer.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if the item was added to the buffer else false (always false when closed).

#put(item) ⇒ Boolean

Put an item onto the buffer if possible. If the buffer is open but not able to accept the item the calling thread will block until the item can be put onto the buffer.

When the buffer is full, this method will return true immediately and the item will be inserted, but the oldest elements in the buffer will be discarded (not transferred).

Parameters:

  • item (Object) —

    the item/value to put onto the buffer.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if the item was added to the buffer else false (always false when closed).
