Detailed Description

template<class ATTRIBUTES, class CACHING_UTILITY>
class ACE_LFU_Caching_Strategy< ATTRIBUTES, CACHING_UTILITY >

Defines a Least Frequently Used strategy for which will decide on the item to be removed from the cache.

A attribute is tagged to each item which increments whenever the item is bound or looked up in the cache. Thus it denotes the frequency of use. According to the value of the attribute the item is removed from the CONTAINER i.e cache. Explanation of the template parameter list: CONTAINER is any map with entries of type <KEY, VALUE>. The ATTRIBUTES are the deciding factor for purging of entries and should logically be included with the VALUE. Some ways of doing this are: As being a member of the VALUE or VALUE being std::pair<x, ATTRIBUTES>. The CACHING_UTILITY is the class which can be plugged in and which decides the entries to purge.

ACE_LFU_Caching_Strategy< ATTRIBUTES, CACHING_UTILITY >::ACE_LFU_Caching_Strategy

(

void

)

The <container> is the map in which the entries reside. The timer attribute is initialed to zero in this constructor. And the <purge_percent> field denotes the percentage of the entries in the cache which can be purged automagically and by default is set to 10%.
