A GCache allows sharing of complex data structures, in order to save system resources.
GCache uses keys and values. A GCache key describes the properties of a particular resource. A GCache value is the actual resource.
GCache has been marked as deprecated, since this API is rarely used and not very actively maintained.
typedef struct _GCache GCache;
GCache has been deprecated since version 2.32 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use a GHashTable instead
The GCache struct is an opaque data structure containing information about a GCache. It should only be accessed via the following functions.
GCache * g_cache_new (GCacheNewFunc value_new_func,GCacheDestroyFunc value_destroy_func,GCacheDupFunc key_dup_func,GCacheDestroyFunc key_destroy_func,GHashFunc hash_key_func,GHashFunc hash_value_func,GEqualFunc key_equal_func);
g_cache_new has been deprecated since version 2.32 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use a GHashTable instead
Creates a new GCache.
|
a function to create a new object given a key.
This is called by g_cache_insert() if an object
with the given key does not already exist |
|
a function to destroy an object. It is called
by g_cache_remove() when the object is no
longer needed (i.e. its reference count drops
to 0) |
|
a function to copy a key. It is called by
g_cache_insert() if the key does not already exist in
the GCache
|
|
a function to destroy a key. It is called by
g_cache_remove() when the object is no longer
needed (i.e. its reference count drops to 0) |
|
a function to create a hash value from a key |
|
a function to create a hash value from a value |
|
a function to compare two keys. It should return
TRUE if the two keys are equivalent |
Returns : |
a new GCache |
gpointer g_cache_insert (GCache *cache,gpointer key);
g_cache_insert has been deprecated since version 2.32 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use a GHashTable instead
Gets the value corresponding to the given key, creating it if
necessary. It first checks if the value already exists in the
GCache, by using the key_equal_func function passed to
g_cache_new(). If it does already exist it is returned, and its
reference count is increased by one. If the value does not currently
exist, if is created by calling the value_new_func. The key is
duplicated by calling key_dup_func and the duplicated key and value
are inserted into the GCache.
void g_cache_remove (GCache *cache,gconstpointer value);
g_cache_remove has been deprecated since version 2.32 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use a GHashTable instead
Decreases the reference count of the given value. If it drops to 0
then the value and its corresponding key are destroyed, using the
value_destroy_func and key_destroy_func passed to g_cache_new().

void g_cache_destroy (GCache *cache);
g_cache_destroy has been deprecated since version 2.32 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use a GHashTable instead
Frees the memory allocated for the GCache.
Note that it does not destroy the keys and values which were contained in the GCache.

void g_cache_key_foreach (GCache *cache,GHFunc func,gpointer user_data);
g_cache_key_foreach has been deprecated since version 2.32 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use a GHashTable instead
Calls the given function for each of the keys in the GCache.
NOTE func is passed three parameters, the value and key of a cache
entry and the user_data. The order of value and key is different
from the order in which g_hash_table_foreach() passes key-value
pairs to its callback function !
void g_cache_value_foreach (GCache *cache,GHFunc func,gpointer user_data);
g_cache_value_foreach has been deprecated since version 2.10 and should not be used in newly-written code. The reason is that it passes pointers to internal
data structures to func; use g_cache_key_foreach() instead
Calls the given function for each of the values in the GCache.
void (*GCacheDestroyFunc) (gpointer value);
GCacheDestroyFunc is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Specifies the type of the value_destroy_func and key_destroy_func
functions passed to g_cache_new(). The functions are passed a
pointer to the GCache key or GCache value and should free any
memory and other resources associated with it.
|
the GCache value to destroy |
gpointer (*GCacheDupFunc) (gpointer value);
GCacheDupFunc is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Specifies the type of the key_dup_func function passed to
g_cache_new(). The function is passed a key
(not a value as the prototype implies) and
should return a duplicate of the key.
gpointer (*GCacheNewFunc) (gpointer key);
GCacheNewFunc is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Specifies the type of the value_new_func function passed to
g_cache_new(). It is passed a GCache key and should create the
value corresponding to the key.
