Someone (sorry, I don't have the name in front of me) asked for
examples where cyclic pointer structures were necessary for efficiency.
I have an application that may qualify.
I have a system for minimizing multi-level logic circuits, doing
technology mapping, and similar logic CAD work.
I just remembered a case where this could be nice; depending on
implementation, keeping track of a COMMON block ina fortran compiler
can be neatly solved with a cyclic structure. Not to mention the
classic case of cyclic buffers for rich data objects... which is
very much what Kevin Krplus talks about.
