如何使用 NSCache

有人可以举例说明如何使用NSCache缓存字符串？ 或者有人有一个很好的解释的链接吗？我好像找不到啊..

您使用它的方式与使用它的方式相同NSMutableDictionary。不同的是，当NSCache检测到内存压力过大（即缓存了太多值），它将释放其中一些值以腾出空间。

如果您可以在运行时重新创建这些值（通过从互联网下载，通过进行计算等），那么NSCache可能适合您的需求。如果数据无法重新创建（例如，它是用户输入、时间敏感等），那么您不应将其存储在NSCache因为它将在那里被摧毁。

不考虑线程安全的示例：

// Your cache should have a lifetime beyond the method or handful of methods
// that use it. For example, you could make it a field of your application
// delegate, or of your view controller, or something like that. Up to you.
NSCache *myCache = ...;
NSAssert(myCache != nil, @"cache object is missing");

// Try to get the existing object out of the cache, if it's there.
Widget *myWidget = [myCache objectForKey: @"Important Widget"];
if (!myWidget) {
    // It's not in the cache yet, or has been removed. We have to
    // create it. Presumably, creation is an expensive operation,
    // which is why we cache the results. If creation is cheap, we
    // probably don't need to bother caching it. That's a design
    // decision you'll have to make yourself.
    myWidget = [[[Widget alloc] initExpensively] autorelease];

    // Put it in the cache. It will stay there as long as the OS
    // has room for it. It may be removed at any time, however,
    // at which point we'll have to create it again on next use.
    [myCache setObject: myWidget forKey: @"Important Widget"];
}

// myWidget should exist now either way. Use it here.
if (myWidget) {
    [myWidget runOrWhatever];
}
