I did, doesn't seem to do much for bsd .a files. This does work though:

#include "Plugins/ObjectContainer/BSD-Archive/ObjectContainerBSDArchive.h"

class MyBSDStuff : private ObjectContainerBSDArchive {
public:
   static void ClearCache() {
     Mutex::Locker locker(Archive::GetArchiveCacheMutex());
     Archive::Map &archive_map = Archive::GetArchiveCache();
     archive_map.clear();
   }
};



MyBSDStuff::ClearCache();

which I know is a terrible hack, but I didn't see it anywhere else exposed.
