FIFO(vhdl) : Delete Operation
I have done a type of fifo with had four extra inputs:  rd_cancel and rd_commit, and wr_cancel and wr_commit.  The idea is that you can do a bunch of writes and then either cancel the writes you did (erase the data you just wrote) or commit that data (make it available to the read port).  The same thing for reading:  rd_cancel would "unread" what you just read, rd_commit would commit your reads.  The cancel/commit operation would cancel or commit only the data since the last cancel/commit.

This is done by having a temporary copy of the write and read pointers.  These temp pointers are copied back and forth with the real pointers depending on the cancel/commit inputs.  Also, when calculating if the FIFO is full or not, sometimes the temp pointers or the real pointers are used.  It's a bit complicated, and beyond this kind of forum, but if this sounds like what you want then let me know and I'll see what I can come up with.

Just FYI:  I have never seen this type of FIFO done before, but it seems like an obvious solution to several FIFO related problems.  The last time I googled for a FIFO like this I came up empty, but I'd be surprised if nobody else have ever dreamed up something like this.
