clojure.core.memoize

core.memoize is a Clojure contrib library providing the following features:

• An underlying PluggableMemoization protocol that allows the use of customizable and swappable memoization caches that adhere to the synchronous CacheProtocol found in core.cache

• Memoization builders for implementations of common caching strategies, including:

  • First-in-first-out (clojure.core.memoize/fifo)
  • Least-recently-used (clojure.core.memoize/lru)
  • Least-used (clojure.core.memoize/lu)
  • Time-to-live (clojure.core.memoize/ttl)
  • Naive cache (memo) that duplicates the functionality of Clojure's memoize function

• Functions for manipulating the memoization cache of core.memoize backed functions

Change Log

• Release 0.8.2 on 2019.11.01 (to match core.cache again)
  • Update core.cache dependency version from 0.7.2 to 0.8.2.
  • Fixes CMEMOIZE-28 - provides memoizer as a more convenient way to build custom cached functions that may provide a seed hash map of arguments to return values. build-memoizer should be considered deprecated at this point.
  • Fixes CMEMOIZE-27 - the seed function on PluggableMemoization now makes elements derefable (this case was missed when CMEMOIZE-18 was fixed)
• Release 0.7.2 on 2019.06.13
  • Fixes CMEMOIZE-26 - zero-arity function cache could not be replaced by memo-swap! (discovered by Teemu Kaukoranta)
  • Updated core.cache dependency version from 0.7.1 to 0.7.2
  • Updated test matrix locally to include Clojure 1.10.1, 1.11 master
• Release 0.7.1 on 2018.03.02
  • Fixes CMEMOIZE-15 - edge case where cache miss/lookup cross an eviction boundary (Ryan Fowler/Colin Jones)
  • Updated core.cache dependency version from 0.7.0 to 0.7.1 (for TTLCacheQ bug fix)
• Release 0.7.0 on 2018.03.01
  • Fixes CMEMOIZE-22 - add :clojure.core.memoize/args-fn metadata support for memoizing functions which have one or more arguments that should not contribute to the cache key for calls
  • Fixes CMEMOIZE-20 - add lazy-snapshot function
  • Fixes CMEMOIZE-18 - automatically makes seed map values deref-able to match documentation and comply with core.memoize's world view
  • Cleanup/improve/fix tests
  • Add multi-version testing locally via Leiningen
  • Jump to 0.7.0 to match core.cache since these two libraries are so closely in sync
• Release 0.5.9 on 2016.03.28
  • Updated core.cache dependency version from 0.6.4 to 0.6.5
• Release 0.5.8 on 2015.11.06

• Release 0.5.6 on 2013.06.28
  • Added optional args to memo-clear!.
  • Widened contract on factory functions to accept any callable.
• Release 0.5.5 on 2013.06.14
  • Deprecated memo-* APIs
  • Adds new API of form (cache-type function <base><:cache-type/threshold int>)
• Release 0.5.4 on 2013.06.03
  • Fixes CMEMOIZE-5
  • Fixes CMEMOIZE-2
