cache-rs 0.4.0

//! Configuration for the Least Recently Used (LRU) cache.
//!
//! This module provides configuration for LRU caches.
//!
//! # Sizing Guidelines
//!
//! ## Understanding `max_size` and `capacity`
//!
//! - **`max_size`**: The maximum total size in bytes for cached *values*. This should reflect
//!   your memory budget for the cache data itself.
//! - **`capacity`**: The maximum number of entries. Each entry has memory overhead beyond
//!   the value size (approximately 64-128 bytes per entry for keys, pointers, and metadata).
//!
//! ## For In-Memory Caches
//!
//! Set `max_size` to the amount of memory you want to allocate for cached values:
//!
//! ```text
//! Total Memory ≈ max_size + (capacity × overhead_per_entry)
//! overhead_per_entry ≈ 64-128 bytes (keys, pointers, metadata)
//! ```
//!
//! **Example**: For a 100MB cache with ~10KB average values:
//! - `max_size = 100 * 1024 * 1024` (100MB for values)
//! - `capacity = 10_000` entries
//! - Overhead ≈ 10,000 × 100 bytes = ~1MB additional
//!
//! ## For Disk-Based or External Caches
//!
//! When caching references to external storage, size based on your target cache size:
//!
//! ```text
//! capacity = target_cache_size / average_object_size
//! ```
//!
//! **Example**: For a 1GB disk cache with 50KB average objects:
//! - `max_size = 1024 * 1024 * 1024` (1GB)
//! - `capacity = 1GB / 50KB ≈ 20,000` entries
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use cache_rs::config::LruCacheConfig;
//! use cache_rs::LruCache;
//! use core::num::NonZeroUsize;
//!
//! // In-memory cache: 50MB budget for values, ~5KB average size
//! let config = LruCacheConfig {
//!     capacity: NonZeroUsize::new(10_000).unwrap(),
//!     max_size: 50 * 1024 * 1024,  // 50MB
//! };
//! let cache: LruCache<String, Vec<u8>> = LruCache::init(config, None);
//!
//! // Small fixed-size value cache (e.g., config values, counters)
//! // When values are small, capacity is the primary constraint
//! let config = LruCacheConfig {
//!     capacity: NonZeroUsize::new(1000).unwrap(),
//!     max_size: 1024 * 1024,  // 1MB is plenty for small values
//! };
//! let cache: LruCache<String, i32> = LruCache::init(config, None);
//! ```

/// Configuration for an LRU (Least Recently Used) cache.
///
/// LRU evicts the least recently accessed items when the cache reaches capacity.
///
/// # Fields
///
/// - `capacity`: Maximum number of entries the cache can hold. Each entry has
///   memory overhead (~64-128 bytes) for keys, pointers, and metadata.
/// - `max_size`: Maximum total size in bytes for cached values. Set this based
///   on your memory budget, not to `u64::MAX`. See module docs for sizing guidance.
///
/// # Sizing Recommendations
///
/// Always set meaningful values for both fields:
///
/// - **In-memory cache**: `max_size` = memory budget for values;
///   `capacity` = `max_size` / average_value_size
/// - **Disk-based cache**: `max_size` = disk space allocation;
///   `capacity` = `max_size` / average_object_size
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use cache_rs::config::LruCacheConfig;
/// use cache_rs::LruCache;
/// use core::num::NonZeroUsize;
///
/// // 10MB cache for ~1KB average values → ~10,000 entries
/// let config = LruCacheConfig {
///     capacity: NonZeroUsize::new(10_000).unwrap(),
///     max_size: 10 * 1024 * 1024,  // 10MB
/// };
/// let cache: LruCache<String, Vec<u8>> = LruCache::init(config, None);
///
/// // Small cache for tiny values (ints, bools) - capacity-limited
/// let config = LruCacheConfig {
///     capacity: NonZeroUsize::new(500).unwrap(),
///     max_size: 64 * 1024,  // 64KB is ample for small values
/// };
/// let cache: LruCache<&str, i32> = LruCache::init(config, None);
/// ```
