//
// SoContextedObjectCacheList
// This class has some similarities to SoGLCacheList, which manages render
// caches (OpenGL display lists), but is significantly different because:
//
// 1) Texture caches (OpenGL texture objects) only depend on the OpenGL render
//    context (identified by cachectxSharedId in Inventor) and texture quality.
//    Render caches depend on a large number of traversal state elements
//    (including cachectxSharedId).  In fact SoGLCacheList is able to maintain
//    multiple render caches (with different attribute settings) for the same
//    cachectxSharedId.  For texture caches we do not need this complexity, so
//    we only maintain a single texture cache for each cachectxSharedId.
//
// 2) Texture nodes already have a slightly complicated relationship with the
//    SoGLTextureImageElement, where the element creates the texture object,
//    but the node stores the address of the object for later re-use.
//    SoGLCacheList, on the other hand, is relatively self-contained. It is
//    responsible for creating, using and destroying render caches and looks
//    more like a "black box" to Separator (etc) nodes.  SoContextedObjectCacheList is
//    more of a "helper" class that does some bookkeeping for the client node.
//    It will generally be safer and more efficient for the client node to
//    lock its own mutex, but we have provided an optional internal mutex.
//
// 3) Texture caches are used in a different way than render caches. A "call"
//    of a render cache (glCallList) is a somewhat atomic operation. We must
//    ensure the display list continues to exist until glCallList returns,
//    but after that it could be destroyed.  A texture cache is put into the
//    traversal state and must continue to exist until its TextureImageElement
//    is popped off the stack.  We don't know what other geometry the texture
//    might apply to.  To ensure this happens safely with multiple threads we
//    modified TextureImageElement to ref and unref the texture object.
//
// The number of texture caches that are required depends on the number of
// graphics pipes that the application will use.  However, it specifically
// depends on the number of different cachectxSharedIds.  So if all the pipes
// can share texture objects, they can (and should) all use the same
// cachectxSharedId, and only one texture cache is required.  If the pipes
// cannot share texture objects (eg. on SGI hardware), then they should each
// use a different cachectxSharedId and the number of texture caches should be
// equal to or greater than the number of pipes.  The number of caches can be
// set for both render and texture caches using SoDB::setNumRenderCaches.
//
// There are two cases that should account for 99% of the usage:
//
// Case 1: Classic single pipe Open Inventor program
//
//    The effective behavior in this case should be the same as before.
//    Typically the program will only have one cachectxSharedId value (even
//    if it uses multiple Open Inventor windows), so only one texture cache
//    is needed.  If the texture quality changes, the texture node will create
//    a new texture object and call setCache, but the cachectxSharedId will be
//    the same so the existing entry will be re-used.
//
// Case 2: Multi-pipe Open Inventor program
//
//    Typically each pipe will have a different cachectxSharedId, but once
//    the pipes are set up, the cachectxSharedIds will remain the same until
//    the program exits.  There are should be as many texture caches as
//    there are pipes and each cachectxSharedId will have its own cache (and
//    its own texture object).  If the texture quality changes, the texture
//    node will create a new texture object and call setCache in each render
//    thread, but the cachectxSharedId is the same for each thread, so the
//    existing entry will be re-used.
//
// In the unlikely, but possible, case that there are more cachectxSharedId
// values than there are texture caches, the SoContextedObjectCacheList will choose
// an existing cache entry to "clobber".  This is based on a useCount to
// encourage clobbering the least used cache entry.  However it is likely
// that in this case the cache list will be "thrashing", clobbering and
// re-using the same cache entry over and over.  This is not good, but no
// worse than the behavior in the 3.0 (and older) code. :-)
