Each - cache item has a key and a certain cost. The sum of item costs, - totalCost(), never exceeds the maximum cache cost, maxCost(). 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. - - Q3Cache is a template class. Q3Cache\<X\> defines a cache that - operates on pointers to X, or X*. - - Apart from insert(), by far the most important function is find() - (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. - - There are also methods to remove() or take() an object from the - cache. Calling setAutoDelete(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). - - When inserting an item into the cache, only the pointer is copied, - not the item itself. This is called a shallow copy. It is possible - to make the cache copy all of the item's data (known as a deep - copy) when an item is inserted. insert() calls the virtual - function Q3PtrCollection::newItem() for the item to be inserted. - Inherit a cache and reimplement newItem() if you want deep copies. - - When removing a cache item, the virtual function - Q3PtrCollection::deleteItem() is called. The default - implementation deletes the item if auto-deletion is enabled, and - does nothing otherwise. - - There is a Q3CacheIterator that can be used to traverse the items - in the cache in arbitrary order. - - In Q3Cache, the cache items are accessed via QString keys, which - are Unicode strings. If you want to use non-Unicode, plain 8-bit - \c char* keys, use the Q3AsciiCache template. A Q3Cache has the - same performance as a Q3AsciiCache. - - \sa Q3CacheIterator, Q3AsciiCache, Q3IntCache -*/ - -/*! - \fn Q3Cache::Q3Cache( const Q3Cache<type> &c ) - - \internal - - Do not use.

When inserting a new - item, if the total cost of all items in the cache will exceed \a - maxCost, the cache will start throwing out the older (least - recently used) items until there is enough room for the new item - to be inserted. - - If \a caseSensitive is TRUE (the default), the cache keys are case - sensitive; if it is FALSE, they are case-insensitive. - Case-insensitive comparison considers all Unicode letters. -*/ - -/*! - \fn Q3Cache::~Q3Cache() - - Removes all items from the cache and destroys it.
