Syntax

FDerivedDataCacheInterface *const * CreateOrGetCache()

Remarks

Returns the cache, which is created by the first call to this function.

This always returns a pointer to a valid cache, but that pointer becomes null when the module shuts down and destroys the cache. This extra level of indirection allows a caller to observe the destruction of the cache without polling this function or monitoring the module lifetime.
