Re: [APC-DEV] apc_delete_file() ?

Hey David, It's been on my list to code up a file removal function that can be accessed from user space ( I haven't started so you've got my vote on this if you want patch something up....). I'm also going to need to add a utility to grab both functions and user variables via a regex function more effectively (I want to start on that today) so I'd probably use the two functions in conjunction if I wanted to do a regex delete, and make the argument to the delete function a string or optional array so it's more flexible (ie: if you already have a list of functions as an array). I'm thinking though that searching would be most easily implemented based upon prefixes rather than more complicated regex expressions (falling back to a slower regex comparison would be possible), does this fit your use case(s) as well? These two options may work well for another task I need which is removing groupings of files that could be considered "packages". But ideally if one file was removed due to a TTL timeout etc, all it's sibling files would go to, which I'm not sure yet how I see being implemented in a generic/flexible way. -shire On May 14, 2008, at 8:39 AM, David Sklar wrote:

I'd like to add a function that removes a specific compiled file from the cache. My initial thought is to have the function, given a filename: - use apc_cache_make_file_key() to determine the cache key for the filename - use apc_cache_find_slot() to determine the slot for the cache key - call remove_slot() on the slot to either free it immediately or put it on the deleted list if its refcount is > 0 - and optionally have the function call process_pending_removals() to flush the deleted list (if possible) Another possibility, more useful for bulk deletes (at least on fullpath entries) could be something like apc_delete_file($pattern) which deletes all files whose names match a given pattern. This could work internally like apc_cache_clear() except that before calling remove_slot() on a particular slot, it would compare the pattern to the fullpath in the key and only remove if it matches. Do either/both of these approachese sound reasonable? Something obvious I'm missing?
