deprecated: 2.32

Declaration [src]

gpointer
g_cache_insert(
GCache*cache,
gpointerkey
)

Description [src]

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 g_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.

Deprecated since: 2.32

Use a GHashTable instead.
