For example, here's the - definition of a cache that stores objects of type Employee - associated with an integer key: - - \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qcache.qdoc 0 - - Here's how to insert an object in the cache: - - \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qcache.qdoc 1 - - The advantage of using QCache over some other key-based data - structure (such as QMap or QHash) is that QCache automatically - takes ownership of the objects that are inserted into the cache and - deletes them to make room for new objects, if necessary. When - inserting an object into the cache, you can specify a \e{cost}, - which should bear some approximate relationship to the amount of - memory taken by the object. When the sum of all objects' costs - (totalCost()) exceeds the cache's limit (maxCost()), QCache starts - deleting objects in the cache to keep under the limit, starting with - less recently accessed objects. - - By default, QCache's maxCost() is 100. You can specify a - different value in the QCache constructor: - - \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qcache.qdoc 2 - - Each time you call insert(), you can specify a cost as third - argument (after the key and a pointer to the object to insert). - After the call, the inserted object is owned by the QCache, which - may delete it at any time to make room for other objects. - - To look up objects in the cache, use object() or - operator[](). This function looks up an object by its key, and - returns either a pointer to the cached object (which is owned by - the cache) or 0. - - If you want to remove an object from the cache for a particular key, - call remove(). This will also delete the object. If you want to - remove an object from the cache without the QCache deleting it, use - take(). - - \sa QPixmapCache, QHash, QMap -*/ - -/*! \fn QCache::QCache(int maxCost = 100) - - Constructs a cache whose contents will never have a total cost - greater than \a maxCost. -*/ - -/*! \fn QCache::~QCache() - - Destroys the cache.
