Unlike QCache, it adds a restriction + that elements within the cache are contiguous. This has the advantage + of matching how user interface views most commonly request data, as + a set of rows localized around the current scrolled position. This + restriction allows the cache to consume less memory and processor + cycles than QCache. The QContiguousCache class also can provide + an upper bound on memory usage via setCapacity(). + + The simplest way of using a contiguous cache is to use the append() + and prepend(). + +\code +MyRecord record(int row) const +{ + Q_ASSERT(row >= 0 && row < count()); + + while(row > cache.lastIndex()) + cache.append(slowFetchRecord(cache.lastIndex()+1)); + while(row < cache.firstIndex()) + cache.prepend(slowFetchRecord(cache.firstIndex()-1)); + + return cache.at(row); +} +\endcode + + If the cache is full then the item at the opposite end of the cache from + where the new item is appended or prepended will be removed. + + This usage can be further optimized by using the insert() function + in the case where the requested row is a long way from the currently cached + items. If there is a gap between where the new item is inserted and the currently + cached items then the existing cached items are first removed to retain + the contiguous nature of the cache. Hence it is important to take some care then + when using insert() in order to avoid unwanted clearing of the cache. + + The range of valid indexes for the QContiguousCache class are from + 0 to INT_MAX. Calling prepend() such that the first index would become less + than 0 or append() such that the last index would become greater + than INT_MAX can result in the indexes of the cache being invalid. + When the cache indexes are invalid it is important to call + normalizeIndexes() before calling any of containsIndex(), firstIndex(), + lastIndex(), at() or \l{QContiguousCache::operator[]()}{operator[]()}. + Calling these functions when the cache has invalid indexes will result in + undefined behavior. The indexes can be checked by using areIndexesValid() + + In most cases the indexes will not exceed 0 to INT_MAX, and + normalizeIndexes() will not need to be used. + + See the \l{Contiguous Cache Example}{Contiguous Cache} example. +*/ + +/*! \fn QContiguousCache::QContiguousCache(int capacity) + + Constructs a cache with the given \a capacity. + + \sa setCapacity() +*/ + +/*! \fn QContiguousCache::QContiguousCache(const QContiguousCache<T> &other) + + Constructs a copy of \a other. + + This operation takes \l{constant time}, because QContiguousCache is + \l{implicitly shared}.
