[Interest] Qt based LRU container?

[André Somers]

Hi,

I imagine this did not surface before, is because the need to get notified seems quite rare to me. Usually, a cache is store-and-forget.

However, to solve your problem, I would create a thin wrapper object around the value to store for the notification part, and store that in your cache. Or, re-create QCache. It's really not that hard to do. I did it recently because I needed a value based cache instead if a pointer based one...

Does anyone know of an LRU based container for Qt? I'm specifically
looking for an implementation that notifies me when something gets

but it doesn't notify me when something drops out due to LRU kicking
in.

If you need to know when something is evicted then it's not really
acting as just a cache. That said, you could do it by making the
object in the cache inform you in its destructor.

hmm, that could work. Never thought about using the destructor.
On the other hand, i would get into trouble when the object isn't only
in the cache but also in other places. Then a destruction signal might
not necessarily mean that it's removed from the cache.

need for an LRU to be quite high in some Qt areas so i'm quite
surprised that there doesn't seem to be any of it. Embedded comes to
mind.
