8012	Inconsistency in linearize()	Serge Meynard <serge.meynard@…>	No-Maintainer	"Assume two equivalent non-empty circular buffers A and B, with A reporting as linearized and B as not linearized. After calling ''clear()'' on them, they will both still report the same linearized state as before; the linearized state applies to all buffers, whether empty or not. However, calling ''linearize()'' on the non-linearized empty buffer B will '''not''' linearize it, which is inconsistent.

One option to fix this would be to automatically linearize a buffer when it becomes empty, but that would force some overhead even in cases where it is unnecessary. A better solution would be to make ''linearize()'' work normally even on empty buffers."	Bugs	new	To Be Determined	circular_buffer	Boost 1.52.0	Problem		linearize empty
