Hi all
I’m playing on a mechanism for function call results caching.
This can be used to improve performance in case of a complex or
remote function call.
The basic idea is as follow:
;; The cache is implement as a global map. Function arguments are the
key, the return result is the value.
(def *cache* (hash-map))
;; first check the cache,
;; if result not already exist – call function and store result
(defmacro cache-call [f & args]
`(let [cached# (get *cache* (list ~...@args))]
(if cached#
cached#
(let [ret# (~f ~...@args)]
(def *cache* (assoc *cache* (list ~...@args) ret#))
ret#) )))
usage:
(cache-call + 1 2)
This works fine, but pretty messy.
I would like to scope the hash-map inside the macro and have a hash-
map per function.
How can I do it?
Any style, idioms or personal comments are more than welcome.
Thanks
Tzach
P.S.
At a second phase I would like to let the user extend the caching
properties per function, e.g. cache size, refresh algorithm etc.
