 I don't really understand what your asking here, you want to be able to
 set the order of the messages in the ringbuffer?
 
 
  Its a FIFO queue, as in First In - First Out. So the
order of the messages
 is the same as you write them...
 Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you :S
 
Yup, what I'm talking about is being able to put a data structure on to the
ring buffer. It needs be castable to a  const *char, so the structure needs
a way to be converted to a string. I can't just put my DataMessage
structure on there because there is no automatic conversion from my own
struct to a string. I know how to do this in Python, but not sure what the
best way to do it in C or C++ is.
