Description

Goal: Allow buffer to optionally overwrite oldest data when full.

  • Implementation:
  • Add bool allowOverwrite as a constructor argument (default false).
  • In write(), check this flag:
  • If true, overwrite oldest and advance readIndex.
  • If false, behave as current (do not write).
