Cache
A GCache
allows sharing of complex data structures, in order to save system resources.
GCache
uses keys and values. A GCache
key describes the properties of a particular resource. A GCache
value is the actual resource.
GCache
has been marked as deprecated, since this API is rarely used and not very actively maintained.

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.
