///                           |              ctor

/// The thread-safe class `ball::FixedSizeRecordBuffer` manages record handles
/// (specifically, the instances of `bsl::shared_ptr<ball::Record>`) in a
/// double-ended buffer.  At any time, the sum of sizes of all records contained
/// in a `ball::FixedSizeRecordBuffer` object *plus* the amount of memory
/// allocated by the `ball::FixedSizeRecordBuffer` object itself is guaranteed
/// to be less than or equal to an upper bound specified at creation.  In order
/// to accommodate a record, existing records may be removed from the buffer
/// (see below).  The `ball::FixedSizeRecordBuffer` class provides methods to
/// push a record handle into either end (back or front) of the buffer
/// (`pushBack` and `pushFront`), to obtain read-only access to the log record
/// positioned at either end (`back` and `front`) and to remove the record
/// positioned at either end (`popBack` and `popFront`).  In order to
/// accommodate a `pushBack` request, the records from the front end of the
/// buffer may be removed.  Similarly, in order to accommodate a `pushFront`
/// request, the records from the back end of the buffer may be removed.  If a
/// record can not be accommodated in the buffer, it is silently (but otherwise
/// safely) discarded.
///
/// ## Usage {#ball_fixedsizerecordbuffer-usage}
///
///
/// This section illustrates intended use of this component.
///
/// ### Example 1: Basic Usage {#ball_fixedsizerecordbuffer-example-1-basic-usage}
///
///
/// In the following example we demonstrate creation of a limited record buffer
/// followed by concurrent access to it by multiple threads.
/// @code
/// enum {
///     KILO_BYTE      = 1024,   // one kilo is (2^10) bytes
///     MAX_TOTAL_SIZE = 32 * K, // 'maxTotalSize' parameter
///     NUM_ITERATIONS = 1000,   // number of iterations
///     NUM_THREADS    = 4       // number of threads
/// };
/// bslma::Allocator *basicAllocator = bslma::Default::defaultAllocator();
/// @endcode
/// First we create a record buffer.
/// @code
/// bdlma::DefaultDeleter<ball::Record> recordDeleter(basicAllocator);
/// ball::FixedSizeRecordBuffer recordBuffer(MAX_TOTAL_SIZE, basicAllocator);
/// @endcode
/// Note that since the record buffer will contain shared pointers to the
/// records, `recordDeleter` must be created before `recordBuffer` to ensure
/// that the former has the longer lifetime.
///
/// Now we create several threads each of which repeatedly performs the
/// following operations in a tight loop;
///  (1) create a record;
///  (2) build a message and store it into the record;
///  (3) create a record handle;
///  (4) push this record handle at the back end of the record buffer
///
/// @code
/// void *workerThread(void *arg)
/// {
///     int id = (int)arg; // thread id
///     for (int i = 0; i < NUM_ITERATIONS; ++i) {
///         ball::Record *record =
///                       new (*basicAllocator) ball::Record(basicAllocator);
///
///         // build a message
///         enum { MAX_SIZE = 100 };
///         char msg[MAX_SIZE];
///         sprintf(msg, "message no. %d from thread no. %d", i, id);
///
///         record->getFixedFields().setMessage(msg);
///
///         bsl::shared_ptr<ball::Record>
///           handle(record, &recordDeleter, basicAllocator);
///
///         recordBuffer.pushBack(handle);
///     }
/// @endcode
/// After completing the loop each thread iterates, in LIFO order, over all of
/// the records contained in record buffer.
/// @code
///     // print messages in LIFO order
///     recordBuffer.beginSequence();
///     while (recordBuffer.length()) {
///         const ball::Record &rec = recordBuffer.back();
///         bsl::cout << rec.getFixedFields().message() << bsl::endl;
///         recordBuffer.popBack();
///     }
///     recordBuffer.endSequence();
///
///     return NULL;
/// }
/// @endcode
