+
+
+The TQIntCache class is a template class that provides a cache based on long keys.
+<p>
+
+<p> TQIntCache is implemented as a template class. Define a template
+instance TQIntCache&lt;X&gt; 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">TQPtrCollection::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">TQIntCacheIterator</a> which may be used to traverse the
+items in the cache in arbitrary order.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="qintcacheiterator.html">TQIntCacheIterator</a>, <a href="qcache.html">TQCache</a>, <a href="qasciicache.html">TQAsciiCache</a>, <a href="collection.html">Collection Classes</a>, and <a href="tools.html">Non-GUI Classes</a>.

+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQIntCache-2"></a>TQIntCache::TQIntCache ( int&nbsp;maxCost = 100, int&nbsp;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="~TQIntCache"></a>TQIntCache::~TQIntCache ()
+</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>TQIntCache::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">TQPtrCollection</a>.
+<h3 class=fn>uint <a name="count"></a>TQIntCache::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">TQPtrCollection</a>.
+<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="find"></a>TQIntCache::find ( long&nbsp;k, bool&nbsp;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>TQIntCache::insert ( long&nbsp;k, const&nbsp;type&nbsp;*&nbsp;d, int&nbsp;c = 1, int&nbsp;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,
+TQIntCache 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 TQt 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>TQIntCache::isEmpty () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns TRUE if the cache is empty; otherwise returns FALSE.
+
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="maxCost"></a>TQIntCache::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>TQIntCache::operator[] ( long&nbsp;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>TQIntCache::remove ( long&nbsp;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>TQIntCache::setMaxCost ( int&nbsp;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>TQIntCache::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>TQIntCache::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>TQIntCache::take ( long&nbsp;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>TQIntCache::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>().
