+ \class Q3IntCache
+ \brief The Q3IntCache class is a template class that provides a cache based on long keys.
+ \compat
+
+ Q3IntCache is implemented as a template class. Define a template
+ instance Q3IntCache\<X\> to create a cache that operates on
+ pointers to X, or X*.
+
+ A cache is a least recently used (LRU) list of cache items,
+ accessed via \c long keys. Each cache item has a cost. The sum
+ of item costs, totalCost(), will not exceed 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.
+
+ 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 dictionary and reimplement newItem() if you want deep
+ copies.
+
+ When removing a cache item, the item will be automatically
+ deleted if auto-deletion is enabled.
+
+ There is a Q3IntCacheIterator which may be used to traverse the
+ items in the cache in arbitrary order.

+ \fn Q3IntCache::Q3IntCache( int maxCost, int size )
+
+ Constructs a cache whose contents will never have a total cost
+ greater than \a maxCost and which is expected to contain less than

+
+ \a size is actually the size of an internal hash array; it's
+ usually best to make it prime and at least 50% bigger than the
+ largest expected number of items in the cache.
+
+ 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 \a
+ maxCost, the cache will start throwing out the older (least
+ recently used) items until there is enough room for the new item
