The QIntCache class is a template class that provides a cache based on long keys.
<p>
<p> QIntCache is implemented as a template class. Define a template
instance QIntCache<X> to create a cache that operates on
pointers to X, or X*.
<p> A cache is a least recently used (LRU) list of cache items,
accessed via <tt>long</tt> keys. Each cache item has a cost. The sum
of item costs, <a href="#totalCost">totalCost</a>(), will not exceed the maximum cache
cost, <a href="#maxCost">maxCost</a>(). If inserting a new item would cause the total
cost to exceed the maximum cost, the least recently used items in
the cache are removed.
<p> Apart from <a href="#insert">insert</a>(), by far the most important function is <a href="#find">find</a>()
(which also exists as operator[]). This function looks up an
item, returns it, and by default marks it as being the most
recently used item.
<p> There are also methods to <a href="#remove">remove</a>() or <a href="#take">take</a>() an object from the
cache. Calling <a href="qptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>(TRUE) for a cache tells it to delete
items that are removed. The default is to not delete items when
they are removed (i.e. remove() and take() are equivalent).
<p> When inserting an item into the cache, only the pointer is copied,
not the item itself. This is called a <a href="shclass.html#shallow-copy">shallow copy</a>. It is possible
to make the cache copy all of the item's data (known as a <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a>) when an item is inserted. insert() calls the virtual
function <a href="qptrcollection.html#newItem">QPtrCollection::newItem</a>() for the item to be inserted.
Inherit a dictionary and reimplement <a href="qptrcollection.html#newItem">newItem</a>() if you want deep
copies.
<p> When removing a cache item, the item will be automatically
deleted if auto-deletion is enabled.
<p> There is a <a href="qintcacheiterator.html">QIntCacheIterator</a> which may be used to traverse the
items in the cache in arbitrary order.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qintcacheiterator.html">QIntCacheIterator</a>, <a href="qcache.html">QCache</a>, <a href="qasciicache.html">QAsciiCache</a>, <a href="collection.html">Collection Classes</a>, and <a href="tools.html">Non-GUI Classes</a>.
<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="QIntCache-2"></a>QIntCache::QIntCache ( int maxCost = 100, int size = 17 )
</h3>
<p> Constructs a cache whose contents will never have a total cost
greater than <em>maxCost</em> and which is expected to contain less than
<em>size</em> items.
<p> <em>size</em> is actually the size of an internal hash array; it's
usually best to make it <a href="primes.html#prime">prime</a> and at least 50% bigger than the
largest expected number of items in the cache.
<p> Each inserted item is associated with a cost. When inserting a new
item, if the total cost of all items in the cache will exceed <em>maxCost</em>, the cache will start throwing out the older (least
recently used) items until there is enough room for the new item
to be inserted.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~QIntCache"></a>QIntCache::~QIntCache ()
</h3>
<p> Removes all items from the cache and then destroys the int cache.
If auto-deletion is enabled the cache's items are deleted. All
iterators that access this cache will be reset.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clear"></a>QIntCache::clear ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
<p> Removes all items from the cache, and deletes them if
auto-deletion has been enabled.
<p> All cache iterators that operate this on cache are reset.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#remove">remove</a>() and <a href="#take">take</a>().
<p>Reimplemented from <a href="qptrcollection.html#clear">QPtrCollection</a>.
<h3 class=fn>uint <a name="count"></a>QIntCache::count () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
<p> Returns the number of items in the cache.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#totalCost">totalCost</a>().
<p>Reimplemented from <a href="qptrcollection.html#count">QPtrCollection</a>.
<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="find"></a>QIntCache::find ( long k, bool ref = TRUE ) const
</h3>
<p> Returns the item associated with <em>k</em>, or 0 if the key does not
exist in the cache. If <em>ref</em> is TRUE (the default), the item is
moved to the front of the least recently used list.
<p> If there are two or more items with equal keys, the one that was
inserted most recently is returned.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="insert"></a>QIntCache::insert ( long k, const type * d, int c = 1, int p = 0 )
</h3>
<p> Inserts the item <em>d</em> into the cache with key <em>k</em> and assigns it
a cost of <em>c</em> (default 1). Returns TRUE if it succeeds; otherwise
returns FALSE.
<p> The cache's size is limited, and if the total cost is too high,
QIntCache will remove old, least-used items until there is room
for this new item.
<p> The parameter <em>p</em> is internal and should be left at the default
value (0).
<p> <b>Warning:</b> If this function returns FALSE (for example, the cost <tt>,</tt>
exceeds <a href="#maxCost">maxCost</a>()), you must delete <em>d</em> yourself. Additionally,
be very careful about using <em>d</em> after calling this function. Any
other insertions into the cache, from anywhere in the application
or within Qt itself, could cause the object to be discarded from
the cache and the pointer to become invalid.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isEmpty"></a>QIntCache::isEmpty () const
</h3>
<p> Returns TRUE if the cache is empty; otherwise returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="maxCost"></a>QIntCache::maxCost () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the maximum allowed total cost of the cache.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setMaxCost">setMaxCost</a>() and <a href="#totalCost">totalCost</a>().
<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="operator[]"></a>QIntCache::operator[] ( long k ) const
</h3>
<p> Returns the item associated with <em>k</em>, or 0 if <em>k</em> does not exist
in the cache, and moves the item to the front of the least
recently used list.
<p> If there are two or more items with equal keys, the one that was
inserted most recently is returned.
<p> This is the same as <a href="#find">find</a>( k, TRUE ).
<p> <p>See also <a href="#find">find</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="remove"></a>QIntCache::remove ( long k )
</h3>
<p> Removes the item associated with <em>k</em>, and returns TRUE if the
item was present in the cache; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> The item is deleted if auto-deletion has been enabled, i.e. if you
have called <a href="qptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>(TRUE).
<p> If there are two or more items with equal keys, the one that was
inserted most recently is removed.
<p> All iterators that refer to the removed item are set to point to
the next item in the cache's traversal order.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#take">take</a>() and <a href="#clear">clear</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setMaxCost"></a>QIntCache::setMaxCost ( int m )
</h3>
<p> Sets the maximum allowed total cost of the cache to <em>m</em>. If the
current total cost is greater than <em>m</em>, some items are removed
immediately.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#maxCost">maxCost</a>() and <a href="#totalCost">totalCost</a>().
<h3 class=fn>uint <a name="size"></a>QIntCache::size () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the size of the hash array used to implement the cache.
This should be a bit larger than <a href="#count">count</a>() is likely to be.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="statistics"></a>QIntCache::statistics () const
</h3>
<p> A debug-only utility function. Prints out cache usage, hit/miss,
and distribution information using <a href="qapplication.html#qDebug">qDebug</a>(). This function does
nothing in the release library.
<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="take"></a>QIntCache::take ( long k )
</h3>
<p> Takes the item associated with <em>k</em> out of the cache without
deleting it, and returns a pointer to the item taken out or 0 if
the key does not exist in the cache.
<p> If there are two or more items with equal keys, the one that was
inserted most recently is taken.
<p> All iterators that refer to the taken item are set to point to the
next item in the cache's traversal order.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#remove">remove</a>() and <a href="#clear">clear</a>().
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="totalCost"></a>QIntCache::totalCost () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the total cost of the items in the cache. This is an
integer in the range 0 to <a href="#maxCost">maxCost</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setMaxCost">setMaxCost</a>().
