- # Provide shortcuts to simply the creation of nested default hashes. This
- # pattern is useful, common practice, and unsightly when done manually.
- module HashCaching
- # Dynamically create a nested hash structure used to cache calls to +method_name+
- # The cache method is named +#{method_name}_cache+ unless :as => :alternate_name
- # is given.
- #
- # The hash structure is created using nested Hash.new. For example:
- #
- # def slow_method(a, b) a ** b end
- #
- # can be cached using hash_cache :slow_method, which will define the method
- # slow_method_cache. We can then find the result of a ** b using:
- #
- # slow_method_cache[a][b]
- #
- # The hash structure returned by slow_method_cache would look like this:
- #
- # Hash.new do |as, a|
- # as[a] = Hash.new do |bs, b|
- # bs[b] = slow_method(a, b)
- # end
- # end
- #
- # The generated code is actually compressed onto a single line to maintain
- # sensible backtrace signatures.
