/*! \class QContiguousCache
\inmodule QtCore
\brief The QContiguousCache class is a template class that provides a contiguous cache.
\ingroup tools
\ingroup shared
\reentrant
\since 4.6
The QContiguousCache class provides an efficient way of caching items for
display in a user interface view. 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.
QContiguousCache operates on a fixed capacity, set with setCapacity() or
passed as a parameter to the constructor. This capacity is the upper bound
on memory usage by the cache itself, not including the memory allocated by
the elements themselves. Note that a cache with a capacity of zero (the
default) means no items will be stored: the insert(), append() and
prepend() operations will effectively be no-ops. Therefore, it's important
to set the capacity to a reasonable value before adding items to the cache.
The simplest way of using a contiguous cache is to use the append()
and prepend().
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qcontiguouscache.cpp 0
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.

Sets the capacity of the cache to the given \a size. A cache can hold a
number of items equal to its capacity. When inserting, appending or prepending
items to the cache, if the cache is already full then the item farthest from
the added item will be removed.

Returns the item at index position \a i in the cache. \a i must
be a valid index position in the cache (i.e, firstIndex() <= \a i <= lastIndex()).
The indexes in the cache refer to the number of positions the item is from the
first item appended into the cache. That is to say a cache with a capacity of
100, that has had 150 items appended will have a valid index range of
50 to 149. This allows inserting and retrieving items into the cache based
on a theoretical infinite list

Returns the item at index position \a i as a modifiable reference. If
the cache does not contain an item at the given index position \a i
then it will first insert an empty item at that position.
In most cases it is better to use either at() or insert().
\note This non-const overload of operator[] requires QContiguousCache
to make a deep copy. Use at() for read-only access to a non-const

Inserts \a value at the start of the cache. If the cache is already full
the item at the end of the cache will be removed.

/*! \fn template<typename T> void QContiguousCache<T>::insert(int i, const T &value)
Inserts the \a value at the index position \a i. If the cache already contains
an item at \a i then that value is replaced. If \a i is either one more than
lastIndex() or one less than firstIndex() it is the equivalent to an append()
or a prepend().
If the given index \a i is not within the current range of the cache nor adjacent
to the bounds of the cache's index range, the cache is first cleared before
inserting the item. At this point the cache will have a size of 1. It is
worthwhile taking effort to insert items in an order that starts adjacent
to the current index range for the cache.
The range of valid indexes for the QContiguousCache class are from
0 to INT_MAX. Inserting outside of this range has undefined behavior.

/*! \fn template<typename T> void QContiguousCache<T>::normalizeIndexes()
Moves the first index and last index of the cache
such that they point to valid indexes. The function does not modify
the contents of the cache or the ordering of elements within the cache.
It is provided so that index overflows can be corrected when using the
cache as a circular buffer.

/*! \fn template<typename T> bool QContiguousCache<T>::areIndexesValid() const
Returns whether the indexes for items stored in the cache are valid.
Indexes can become invalid if items are appended after the index position
INT_MAX or prepended before the index position 0. This is only expected
to occur in very long lived circular buffer style usage of the
contiguous cache. Indexes can be made valid again by calling
normalizeIndexes().
