What factors, do you suppose, would affect a designer’s choice of the number of slots a circular buffer should have?
What will be an ideal response?
Ideally, there should be sufficient slots so that the producer will generally find slots available in which to deposit data, and the consumer will generally find slots with data to be read from the buffer. If memory were not an issue, the system should ideally allocate a buffer as large as the maximum expected difference in production and consumption. Memory space is often at a premium, so we choose a reasonable number of slots to ensure that neither the producer nor the consumer will need to wait much.
