Cache.insert

void * insert(void * key = null)

Gets the value corresponding to the given key, creating it if necessary. It first checks if the value already exists in the #GCache, by using the key_equal_func function passed to [glib.cache.Cache.new_]. If it does already exist it is returned, and its reference count is increased by one. If the value does not currently exist, if is created by calling the value_new_func. The key is duplicated by calling key_dup_func and the duplicated key and value are inserted into the #GCache.

Parameters

keya key describing a #GCache object

Returns

a pointer to a #GCache value

Deprecated

Use a #GHashTable instead
