What is happening is that the buffer_size can be set to 0 by RingBuffer_Read if there is nothing to read so it needs to be sure to be reset before each call since it is in a loop.

Yeah, currently it is a VOID return, I think I had plans for the return code to be an error code but ended up not needing that.

I could restructure it a bit so that is the case if you felt like that was better. Personally i feel like it is pretty much the same either way.
