/*
* gdcache.h
*
* Caches of pointers to user structs in which the least-recently-used
* element is replaced in the event of a cache miss after the cache has
* reached a given size.
*
* John Ellson (ellson@lucent.com) Oct 31, 1997
*
* Test this with:
* gcc -o gdcache -g -Wall -DTEST gdcache.c
*
* The cache is implemented by a singly-linked list of elements
* each containing a pointer to a user struct that is being managed by
* the cache.
*
* The head structure has a pointer to the most-recently-used
* element, and elements are moved to this position in the list each
* time they are used. The head also contains pointers to three
* user defined functions:
* - a function to test if a cached userdata matches some keydata
* - a function to provide a new userdata struct to the cache
* if there has been a cache miss.
* - a function to release a userdata struct when it is
* no longer being managed by the cache
*
* In the event of a cache miss the cache is allowed to grow up to
* a specified maximum size. After the maximum size is reached then
* the least-recently-used element is discarded to make room for the
* new. The most-recently-returned value is always left at the
* beginning of the list after retrieval.
*
* In the current implementation the cache is traversed by a linear
* search from most-recent to least-recent. This linear search
* probably limits the usefulness of this implementation to cache
* sizes of a few tens of elements.
