Define a template + instance QAsciiCache\ to create a cache that operates on + pointers to X (X*). + + A cache is a least recently used (LRU) list of cache items. The + cache items are accessed via \c char* keys. For Unicode keys use + the QCache template instead, which uses \c QString keys. A QCache + has the same performace as a QAsciiCache. + + 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 \link QPtrCollection::setAutoDelete() + setAutoDelete(TRUE)\endlink tells the cache to delete items that + are removed. The default is to not delete items when then 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 QPtrCollection::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 + QPtrCollection::deleteItem() is called. Its default implementation + in QAsciiCache is to delete the item if \link + QPtrCollection::setAutoDelete() auto-deletion\endlink is enabled. + + There is a QAsciiCacheIterator which may be used to traverse the + items in the cache in arbitrary order. + + \sa QAsciiCacheIterator, QCache, QIntCache +*/ + +/*! + \fn QAsciiCache::QAsciiCache( const QAsciiCache &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 only affects the 26 letters in + US-ASCII.
