Question about gc_interval & var_gc_interval

[Xrvel Xrvel]

Hello,

I have read the xcacheini wiki.

I read that the "ttl" setting will clear cache X seconds after the cache is created (not accessed).

What about the "gc_interval" & "var_gc_interval" ?
Is there any pros & cons in using garbage collector in xcache?

Thank you.

pros: when some *.php is deleted, gc can remove them
cons: make memory fragment

gc_interval/var_gc_interval is how often gc is executed

Hello.

I very rarely delete / modify PHP file, so i think i will make gc_interval disabled (0) then.

What about the var_gc_interval, in what situation it will be executed?

Thank you.

set up XCache admin pages and you'll see a GC count down. down to 0
and it will be executed

Which cached variables will be considered as "garbage" and cleaned by variable garbage collection process?

For example are they variables which have not been accessed within certain time range?

Or "var_gc_interval" works just same like "var_ttl", which all variables will expire (no matter when it has been accessed recently or not) ?

Thank you.

#define VAR_ENTRY_EXPIRED(pentry) ((pentry)->ttl && XG(request_time) > (pentry)->ctime + (time_t) (pentry)->ttl)

ctime = created time

ttl = time to live == xcache.var_maxttl ? min(xcache.var_maxttl, ttl) : ttl;
