A queue that only holds a maximum number of items and discards the least recently added ones, if new ones are added and the capacity is reached.
It's a relatively thin wrapper around NSMutableArray
, which is implemented as a circular buffer according to this blog post by Bartosz Ciechanowski). Therefore enqueueing and dequeueing are O(1) operations.
The implementation is not thread safe.
