Create function backed cache

Enhancement Major Open Unresolved Fogus Fogus cache fn-cache new-feature Fri, 16 Dec 2011 08:57:37 -0600 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 07:29:30 -0600 0 0 <p>It doesn't perform an action per se, it gets a passed key and returns a value, which the cache then caches (associates with the key) and returns. The tricky bit is when the function can't get a value. There needs to be some protocol for communicating that (could be like 3 arg get), and, should the cache be asked again later for the same key, calling the fn again.</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback Rich. I believe I understand the subtleties now.</p> Global Rank
