 * Created:     H5C.c

 *              June 1 2004

 *              John Mainzer

 *

 * Purpose:     Functions in this file implement a generic cache for

 *              things which exist on disk, and which may be

 *      unambiguously referenced by their disk addresses.

 *

 *              The code in this module was initially written in

 *      support of a complete re-write of the metadata cache

 *      in H5AC.c  However, other uses for the cache code

 *      suggested themselves, and thus this file was created

 *      in an attempt to support re-use.

 *

 *      For a detailed overview of the cache, please see the

 *      header comment for H5C_t in H5Cpkg.h.

 *

 * Modifications:

 *

 *              QAK - 11/27/2004

 *              Switched over to using skip list routines instead of TBBT

 *              routines.

 *

 *      JRM - 12/15/04

 *      Added code supporting manual and automatic cache resizing.

 *      See the header for H5C_auto_size_ctl_t in H5Cprivate.h for

 *      an overview.

 *

 *      Some elements of the automatic cache resize code depend on

 *      the LRU list.  Thus if we ever choose to support a new

 *      replacement policy, we will either have to disable those

 *      elements of the auto resize code when running the new

 *      policy, or modify them to make use of similar information

 *      maintained by the new policy code.
