A header only C++11 LRU Cache template class that allows you to define key, value and optionally the Map type. uses a double linked list and a std::unordered_map
style container to provide fast insert, delete and update
No dependencies other than the C++ standard library. This is a C++11 remake of my earlier LRUCache project (https://github.com/mohaps/lrucache)
The goal was to create a fast LRUCache header only library and to avoid any dependencies like boost.
Enjoy and drop me a line.
#include "LRUCache11.hpp"
namespace lru
{
void test()
{
lru11::Cache<std::string, std::string> cache(3,0);
cache.insert("hello", "world");
cache.insert("foo", "bar");
std::cout<<"checking refresh : "<<cache.get("hello")<<std::endl;
cache.insert("hello1", "world1");
cache.insert("foo1", "bar1");
}
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
lru::test();
return 0;
}
Build with g++ -o sample_main -std=c++11 SampleMain.cpp
Note: for older gcc versions like 4.8, 5.0 etc.
add -lpthread
to the compilation line (as suggested by @ekg via https://github.com/mohaps/lrucache11/pull/3

* LRUCache11 - a templated C++11 based LRU cache class that allows specification of
* key, value and optionally the map container type (defaults to std::unordered_map)
* By using the std::map and a linked list of keys it allows O(1) insert, delete and
* refresh operations.
*
* This is a header-only library and all you need is the LRUCache11.hpp file
