Way to clear cache

[djsegal]

For example,

• let's say you need to do a few batches of jobs
• the functions need to be cleared out after each batch

---

are you supposed to use a dictionary as the key store and clear it out each time?

[djsegal]

my current way around it:

function dememoize()

  mod = current_module()

  all_caches = filter( x ->
    startswith(string(x), "##") &&
    endswith(string(x),"_memoized_cache"),
    names(mod, true)
  )

  for cur_cache_symbol in all_caches
    empty!(getfield(mod, cur_cache_symbol))
  end

end

@djsegal FYI, I have an implementation of Memorize.jl that does clear cache.

[djsegal]

That's pretty sweet.

Are you planning on renaming it and submitting it to METADATA.jl?

Is a way to clear cache now?
I think Momoize leads to a memory leak without clear cache function.
