[OpenWalnut-Dev] Buffered WModuleInputConnector

[Mario Hlawitschka]

Hi Christof,

thanks for contributing to OW.

Not knowing what you are working on, could you explain in a bit more detail what the queue/ring buffer etc. should do in the context of input and output connectors? Do you have an example case where you are using it to demonstrate its purpose? Maybe one, that could serve as part of the OW  user documentation as well.


Looking at the diff, there are some minor language issues in the documentation, e.g.:
This class checks whether the input connector is an instance of WModuleInputDataCollection, if is it true. => More or less incomplete sentence?
We can discuss those off-list.

Is there a reason why thread-safety is only guaranteed for one producer and once consumer in the ring buffer implementation?


Thanks,

	Mario
