I can probably give some advice here, as I have just written code to do that.
But first, I'll need requirements clarification. IAW: How do you want to use
it?

Does it need to support concurrent 'Writes from multiple tasks? Does it need
to support concurrent 'Writes with 'Reads?

Should it act just like a file, where written items start at the first
element and continue filling up the available space until it is exhausted? Or
should it act like a circular buffer where 'Read's will free up space that
may be used for later 'Writes?
