eastwood.copieddeps.dep3.clojure.core.memoize — jonase/eastwood 0.4.1

core.memoize is a memoization library offering functionality above Clojure's core memoize function in the following ways:

Pluggable memoization

core.memoize allows for different back-end cache implmentations to be used as appropriate without changing the memoization modus operandi.

Manipulable memoization

Because core.memoize allows you to access a function's memoization store, you do interesting things like clear it, modify it, and save it for later.

build-memoizer clj

(build-memoizer cache-factory f & args)

Builds a function that given a function, returns a pluggable memoized version of it. build-memoizer Takes a cache factory function, a function to memoize, and the arguments to the factory. At least one of those functions should be the function to be memoized.

fifo clj

(fifo f)

(fifo f base)

(fifo f tkey threshold)

(fifo f base key threshold)

Works the same as the basic memoization function (i.e. memo and core.memoize except when a given threshold is breached.

Observe the following:

(require '[eastwood.copieddeps.dep3.clojure.core.memoize :as memo])

(def id (memo/fifo identity :fifo/threshold 2))

(id 42)
(id 43)
(snapshot id)
;=> {[42] 42, [43] 43}

As you see, the limit of 2 has not been breached yet, but if you call again with another value, then it is:

(id 44)
(snapshot id)
;=> {[44] 44, [43] 43}

That is, the oldest entry 42 is pushed out of the memoization cache. This is the standard First In First Out behavior.

lru clj

(lru f)

(lru f base)

(lru f tkey threshold)

(lru f base key threshold)

Works the same as the basic memoization function (i.e. memo and core.memoize except when a given threshold is breached.

Observe the following:

(require '[eastwood.copieddeps.dep3.clojure.core.memoize :as memo])

(def id (memo/lru identity :lru/threshold 2))

(id 42)
(id 43)
(snapshot id)
;=> {[42] 42, [43] 43}

At this point the cache has not yet crossed the set threshold of 2, but if you execute yet another call the story will change:

(id 44)
(snapshot id)
;=> {[44] 44, [43] 43}

At this point the operation of the LRU cache looks exactly the same at the FIFO cache. However, the difference becomes apparent on further use:

(id 43)
(id 0)
(snapshot id)
;=> {[0] 0, [43] 43}

As you see, once again calling id with the argument 43 will expose the LRU nature of the underlying cache. That is, when the threshold is passed, the cache will expel the Least Recently Used element in favor of the new.

lu clj

(lu f)

(lu f base)

(lu f tkey threshold)

(lu f base key threshold)

Similar to the implementation of memo-lru, except that this function removes all cache values whose usage value is smallest:

(require '[eastwood.copieddeps.dep3.clojure.core.memoize :as memo])

(def id (memo/lu identity :lu/threshold 3))

(id 42)
(id 42)
(id 43)
(id 44)
(snapshot id)
;=> {[44] 44, [42] 42}

The Least Used values are cleared on cache misses.

memo clj

(memo f)

(memo f seed)

Used as a more flexible alternative to Clojure's core memoization function. Memoized functions built using memo will respond to the core.memo manipulable memoization utilities. As a nice bonus, you can use memo in place of memoize without any additional changes.

The default way to use this function is to simply apply a function that will be memoized. Additionally, you may also supply a map of the form '{[42] 42, [108] 108} where keys are a vector mapping expected argument values to arity positions. The map values are the return values of the memoized function.

You can access the memoization cache directly via the :eastwood.copieddeps.dep3.clojure.core.memoize/cache key on the memoized function's metadata. However, it is advised to use the core.memo primitives instead as implementation details may change over time.

memo-clear! clj

(memo-clear! f)

(memo-clear! f args)

Reaches into an core.memo-memoized function and clears the cache. This is a destructive operation and should be used with care.

When the second argument is a vector of input arguments, clears cache only for argument vector.

Keep in mind that depending on what other threads or doing, an immediate call to snapshot may not yield an empty cache. That's cool though, we've learned to deal with that stuff in Clojure by now.

memo-fifo clj

(memo-fifo f)

(memo-fifo f limit)

(memo-fifo f limit base)

DEPRECATED: Please use eastwood.copieddeps.dep3.clojure.core.memoize/fifo instead.

memo-lru clj

(memo-lru f)

(memo-lru f limit)

(memo-lru f limit base)

DEPRECATED: Please use eastwood.copieddeps.dep3.clojure.core.memoize/lru instead.

memo-lu clj

(memo-lu f)

(memo-lu f limit)

(memo-lu f limit base)

DEPRECATED: Please use eastwood.copieddeps.dep3.clojure.core.memoize/lu instead.

memo-swap! clj

(memo-swap! f base)

Takes a core.memo-populated function and a map and replaces the memoization cache with the supplied map. This is potentially some serious voodoo, since you can effectively change the semantics of a function on the fly.

(def id (memo identity))
(memo-swap! id '{[13] :omg})
(id 13)
;=> :omg

With great power comes ... yadda yadda yadda.

memo-ttl clj

(memo-ttl f)

(memo-ttl f limit)

(memo-ttl f limit base)

DEPRECATED: Please use eastwood.copieddeps.dep3.clojure.core.memoize/ttl instead.

memo-unwrap clj

(memo-unwrap f)

memoized? clj

(memoized? f)

Returns true if a function has an core.memo-placed cache, false otherwise.

snapshot clj

(snapshot memoized-fn)

Returns a snapshot of a core.memo-placed memoization cache. By snapshot you can infer that what you get is only the cache contents at a moment in time.

through* clj

(through* cache f item)

ttl clj

(ttl f)

(ttl f base)

(ttl f tkey threshold)

(ttl f base key threshold)

Unlike many of the other core.memo memoization functions, memo-ttl's cache policy is time-based rather than algortihmic or explicit. When memoizing a function using memo-ttl you should provide a Time To Live parameter in milliseconds.

(require '[eastwood.copieddeps.dep3.clojure.core.memoize :as memo])

(def id (memo/ttl identity :ttl/threshold 5000))

(id 42)
(snapshot id)
;=> {[42] 42}

... wait 5 seconds ...
(id 43)
(snapshot id)
;=> {[43] 43}

The expired cache entries will be removed on each cache miss.
