<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The Q3IntCache class is a template class that provides a cache based on long keys.</p>
<p>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*.</p>
<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="q3intcache.html#totalCost">totalCost</a>(), will not exceed the maximum cache cost, <a href="q3intcache.html#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>
<p>Apart from <a href="q3intcache.html#insert">insert</a>(), by far the most important function is <a href="q3intcache.html#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>
<p>There are also methods to <a href="q3intcache.html#remove">remove</a>() or <a href="q3intcache.html#take">take</a>() 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. <a href="q3intcache.html#remove">remove</a>() and <a href="q3intcache.html#take">take</a>() are equivalent).</p>
<p>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. <a href="q3intcache.html#insert">insert</a>() calls the virtual function <a href="q3ptrcollection.html#newItem">Q3PtrCollection::newItem</a>() for the item to be inserted. Inherit a dictionary and reimplement <a href="q3ptrcollection.html#newItem">newItem</a>() if you want deep copies.</p>
<p>When removing a cache item, the item will be automatically deleted if auto-deletion is enabled.</p>
<p>There is a <a href="q3intcacheiterator.html">Q3IntCacheIterator</a> which may be used to traverse the items in the cache in arbitrary order.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="Q3IntCache"></a>Q3IntCache::<span class="name">Q3IntCache</span> ( <span class="type">int</span> <i>maxCost</i> = 100, <span class="type">int</span> <i>size</i> = 17 )</h3>
<p>Constructs a cache whose contents will never have a total cost greater than <i>maxCost</i> and which is expected to contain less than <i>size</i> items.</p>
<p><i>size</i> 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.</p>
<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 <i>maxCost</i>, the cache will start throwing out the older (least recently used) items until there is enough room for the new item to be inserted.</p>

<p>Removes all items from the cache, and deletes them if auto-deletion has been enabled.</p>
<p>All cache iterators that operate this on cache are reset.</p>

<p>Inserts the item <i>d</i> into the cache with key <i>k</i> and assigns it a cost of <i>c</i> (default 1). Returns TRUE if it succeeds; otherwise returns FALSE.</p>
<p>The cache's size is limited, and if the total cost is too high, <a href="q3intcache.html" class="compat">Q3IntCache</a> will remove old, least-used items until there is room for this new item.</p>
<p>The parameter <i>p</i> is internal and should be left at the default value (0).</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> If this function returns FALSE (for example, the cost <tt>,</tt> exceeds <a href="q3intcache.html#maxCost">maxCost</a>()), you must delete <i>d</i> yourself. Additionally, be very careful about using <i>d</i> after calling this function. Any other insertions into the cache, from anywhere in the application or within Qt itself, could cause the object to be discarded from the cache and the pointer to become invalid.</p>
