Constructor Summary
`BoundedFIFO(int maxSize)` Instantiate a new BoundedFIFO with a maximum size passed as argument.

Method Summary
`LoggingEvent` `get()` Get the first element in the buffer.
`int` `getMaxSize()` Get the maximum size of the buffer.
`boolean` `isFull()` Return `true` if the buffer is full, that is, whether the number of elements in the buffer equals the buffer size.
`int` `length()` Get the number of elements in the buffer.
`void` `put(LoggingEvent o)` Place a `LoggingEvent` in the buffer.
`void` `resize(int newSize)` Resize the buffer to a new size.
`boolean` `wasEmpty()` Returns `true` if there is just one element in the buffer.
`boolean` `wasFull()` Returns `true` if the number of elements in the buffer plus 1 equals the maximum buffer size, returns `false` otherwise.

Constructor Detail

### BoundedFIFO

    public BoundedFIFO(int maxSize)

  Instantiate a new BoundedFIFO with a maximum size passed as argument.

Method Detail

### get

    public LoggingEvent get()

  Get the first element in the buffer. Returns `null` if there are no elements in the buffer.

### put

    public void put(LoggingEvent o)

  Place a `LoggingEvent` in the buffer. If the buffer is full then the event is silently dropped. It is the caller's responsability to make sure that the buffer has free space.

### getMaxSize

    public int getMaxSize()

  Get the maximum size of the buffer.

### isFull

    public boolean isFull()

  Return `true` if the buffer is full, that is, whether the number of elements in the buffer equals the buffer size.

### length

    public int length()

  Get the number of elements in the buffer. This number is guaranteed to be in the range 0 to `maxSize` (inclusive).

### resize

    public void resize(int newSize)

  Resize the buffer to a new size. If the new size is smaller than the old size events might be lost.
  Since:
    1.1

### wasEmpty

    public boolean wasEmpty()

  Returns `true` if there is just one element in the buffer. In other words, if there were no elements before the last `put(org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent)` operation completed.

### wasFull

    public boolean wasFull()

  Returns `true` if the number of elements in the buffer plus 1 equals the maximum buffer size, returns `false` otherwise.
