Class SingleCreationValueCache<TKey, TValue>

A dictionary-like type intended for thread-safe value caches whose values are created only once ever.

Inheritance
Object
SingleCreationValueCache<TKey, TValue>
Namespace: IPA.Utilities.Async
Assembly: IPA.Loader.dll
Syntax
public class SingleCreationValueCache<TKey, TValue> : object
Type Parameters
Name Description
TKey

the key type of the cache
TValue

the value type of the cache
Remarks

This object basically wraps a with some special handling to ensure that values are only created once ever, without having multiple parallel constructions.

ContainsKey(TKey)

Gets a value indicating whether or not this cache contains key.

Declaration
public bool ContainsKey(TKey key)
Parameters
Type Name Description
TKey key

GetOrAdd(TKey, Func<TKey, TValue>)

Gets the value associated with the specified key from the cache. If it does not exist, and no creators are currently running for this key, then the creator is called to create the value and the value is added to the cache. If there is a creator currently running for the key, then this waits for the creator to finish and retrieves the value.

Declaration
public TValue GetOrAdd(TKey key, Func<TKey, TValue> creator)
Parameters
Type Name Description
TKey key

the key to search for
Func<TKey, TValue> creator

the delegate to use to create the value if it does not exist
Returns
Type Description
TValue

the value that was found, or the result of creator

ToArray()

Copies the key-value pairs stored by the cache to a new array, filtering all elements that are currently being created.

Declaration
public KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>[] ToArray()
Returns
Type Description
KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>[]

an array containing a snapshot of the key-value pairs contained in this cache

TryGetValue(TKey, out TValue)

Attempts to get the value associated with the specified key from the cache.

Declaration
public bool TryGetValue(TKey key, out TValue value)
Parameters
Type Name Description
TKey key

the key to search for
TValue value

the value retrieved, if any
Returns
Type Description
Boolean

true if the value was found, false otherwise
