Make BipBuffer generic #3

Closed ferristseng closed 4 years ago

ferristseng commented 5 years ago

Any reason BipBuffer can't/shouldn't be generic?

I have a fork that I've been using locally that adds it, and it seems to work fine. Thinking about making a PR for it!

Hi @ferristseng! Thanks for your contribution, and sorry this fell off my to-do list. What's your use case for a generic BipBuffer? When do you need to reserve contiguous slices of a certain type for communication between threads? Or is your use case a simple spsc queue?

Yeah, I was using this for an audio application where decoded samples (i16) were sent to a different thread for playing sounds. I ended up switching to crossbeam, so you can close this, unless someone else might need this implemented.
