Probably should move the buffer into a separate structure and then you
can drop the cbuf_ prefixes.

Typically, you would use a producer and a consumer index.  To test for
empty, you would check if (consumer == producer).

To check for full, you would check if ((producer - consumer) == size).

To get the actual index, you always modulus the indexes with size.  This
only works if size is a power of 2 but that's a reasonable restriction.

Doing a mempcy() like this may work, but seems inefficient to me.  I
think reading like a ring queue works a bit nicer.

Looks like indenting is off here.
