Christopher R. Hertel 1be87441fe Bringing these up to date with what I've got on my site. The fixes include
the change that prevents 'insure' from becomming confused and issuing leak
reports.  Some minor speed fixes.  That sort of thing.

*
* This module uses a splay tree to implement a simple cache. The cache
* module adds a thin layer of functionality to the splay tree. In
* particular:
*
* - The tree (cache) may be limited in size by the number of
* entries permitted or the amount of memory used. When either
* limit is exceeded cache entries are removed until the cache
* conforms.
* - Some statistical information is kept so that an approximate
* "hit ratio" can be calculated.
* - There are several functions available that provide access to
* and management of cache size limits, hit ratio, and tree
* trimming.
*
* The splay tree is used because recently accessed items tend toward the
* top of the tree and less recently accessed items tend toward the bottom.
* This makes it easy to purge less recently used items should the cache
* exceed its limits.
*
* To use this module, you will need to supply a comparison function of
* type ubi_trCompFunc and a node-freeing function of type
* ubi_trKillNodeRtn. See ubi_BinTree.h for more information on
* these. (This is all basic ubiqx tree management stuff.)
*
* Notes:
*
* - Cache performance will start to suffer dramatically if the
* cache becomes large enough to force the OS to start swapping
* memory to disk. This is because the nodes of the underlying tree
* will be scattered across memory in an order that is completely
* unrelated to their traversal order. As more and more of the
* cache is placed into swap space, more and more swaps will be
* required for a simple traversal (...and then there's the splay
* operation).
*
* In one simple test under Linux, the load and dump of a cache of
* 400,000 entries took only 1min, 40sec of real time. The same
* test with 450,000 records took 2 *hours* and eight minutes.
*
* - In an effort to save memory, I considered using an unsigned
* short to save the per-entry entry size. I would have tucked this
* value into some unused space in the tree node structure. On
* 32-bit word aligned systems this would have saved an additional
* four bytes per entry. I may revisit this issue, but for now I've
* decided against it.
*
* Using an unsigned short would limit the size of an entry to 64K
* bytes. That's probably more than enough for most applications.
* The key word in that last sentence, however, is "probably". I
* really dislike imposing such limits on things.
*
* - Each entry keeps track of the amount of memory it used and the
* cache header keeps the total. This information is provided via
* the EntrySize parameter in ubi_cachePut(), so it is up to you to
* make sure that the numbers are accurate. (The numbers don't even
* have to represent bytes used.)
*
* As you consider this, note that the strdup() function--as an
* example--will call malloc(). The latter generally allocates a
* multiple of the system word size, which may be more than the
* number of bytes needed to store the string.

* Initialize a cache header structure.

* CompFunc - A pointer to the function that will be called

* comments, above, for more information.
* FreeFunc - A pointer to a function that will be called
* to free a cache entry. If you allocated
* the cache entry using malloc(), then this
* will likely be free(). If you are allocating
* cache entries from a free list, then this will
* likely be a function that returns memory to the
* free list, etc.
* MaxEntries - The maximum number of entries that will be
* allowed to exist in the cache. If this limit
* is exceeded, then existing entries will be
* removed from the cache. A value of zero
* indicates that there is no limit on the number
* of cache entries. See ubi_cachePut().
* MaxMemory - The maximum amount of memory, in bytes, to be
* allocated to the cache (excluding the cache
* header). If this is exceeded, existing entries
* in the cache will be removed until enough memory
* has been freed to meet the condition. See
* ubi_cachePut().
*
* Output: A pointer to the initialized cache (i.e., the same as CachePtr).
*
* Notes: Both MaxEntries and MaxMemory may be changed after the cache
* has been created. See

* ubi_cacheGetMaxMemory() (the latter two are macros).

* EntryPtr - A pointer to a memory block that begins with a
* ubi_cacheEntry structure. The entry structure

* cached (even if that is a pointer to yet more data).
* Key - Pointer used to identify the lookup key within the

* Notes: After adding the new node, the cache is "trimmed". This
* removes extra nodes if the tree has exceeded it's memory or

* will be purged from the cache (assuming a reasonably large
* cache), since new nodes in a splay tree (which is what this

* and the cache purge process removes nodes from the bottom of
* the tree.
* - The underlying splay tree is opened in OVERWRITE mode. If
* the input key matches an existing key, the existing entry will
* be politely removed from the tree and freed.
* - Memory is allocated in multiples of the word size. The

* cache hits divided by the number of cache lookups, or:
* (10000 * hits) / trys
* You can easily convert this to a float, or do something
* like this (where i is the return value of this function):
*
* printf( "Hit rate : %d.%02d%%\n", (i/100), (i%100) );
*
* Notes: I say "slightly-weighted", because the numerator and
* denominator are both accumulated in locations of type
* 'unsigned short'. If the number of cache trys becomes
* large enough, both are divided by two. (See function
* ubi_cacheGet().)
* Dividing both numerator and denominator by two does not
* change the ratio (much...it is an integer divide), but it
* does mean that subsequent increments to either counter will
* have twice as much significance as previous ones.
*
* - The value returned by this function will be in the range
* [0..10000] because ( 0 <= cache_hits <= cache_trys ) will
* always be true.
