C LRU Cache¶ ↑

A simple least recently used cache written in C.

Usage¶ ↑

Select a maximum size for the cache to grow to (e.g 60MB), determine the average size of items in the cache (a guess is OK), then use the cache using five functions:

// cache size, and hypothetical item #define MAX_SIZE (60 * 1024 * 1024) #define AVG_SIZE (2 * 1024) void *key = (void *)“test”; int key_length = 4; void *item = (void *)“value”; int item_length = 5; // create a new cache lru_cache *cache = lru_cache_new(MAX_SIZE, AVG_SIZE); // set an item lru_cache_set(cache, key, key_length, item, item_length); // get an item lru_cache_get(cache, key, key_length, &item); // delete an item lru_cache_delete(cache, key, key_length); // free a cache lru_cache_free(cache);

Implementation¶ ↑

There are no external dependencies.
