24 ;;; Commentary:
26 ;;; This code defines a ring data structure. A ring is a
27 ;;; (hd-index tl-index . vector)
28 ;;; list. You can insert to, remove from, and rotate a ring. When the ring
29 ;;; fills up, insertions cause the oldest elts to be quietly dropped.
30 ;;;
31 ;;; In ring-ref, 0 is the index of the newest element. Higher indexes
32 ;;; correspond to older elements until they wrap.
33 ;;;
34 ;;; HEAD = index of the newest item on the ring.
35 ;;; TAIL = index of the oldest item on the ring.
36 ;;;
37 ;;; These functions are used by the input history mechanism, but they can
38 ;;; be used for other purposes as well.
