Circular (gb.data)
A Circular buffer, or Circular for short, is a fixed-size buffer with one read and one write pointer. When data is read/written, the proper pointer is moved forward independently of the other one. When the end of the buffer is reached, the pointer wraps around to the beginning. Thus, old never-read values can be overwritten.
This datatype may be ideal for communications between entities where it does not really matter when old values get overwritten, but we still want a fixed-size buffer. For example, log messages are traditionally treated using this technique.
