memoizedCall: Calls a function with memoization

In R.cache: Fast and Light-Weight Caching (Memoization) of Objects and Results to Speed Up Computations

Calls a function with memoization

Description

Calls a function with memoization, that is, caches the results to be retrieved if the function is called again with the exact same arguments.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
memoizedCall(what, ..., envir=parent.frame(), force=FALSE, sources=NULL, dirs=NULL)

Arguments

what	The function to be called, or a character string specifying the name of the function to be called, cf. do.call().
...	Arguments passed to the function.
envir	The environment in which the function is evaluated.
force	If TRUE, any cached results are ignored, otherwise not.
sources, dirs	Optional arguments passed to loadCache() and saveCache().

Details

If the function returns NULL, that particular function call is not memoized.

Value

Returns the result of the function call.

Internally, loadCache() is used to load memoized results, if available. If not available, then do.call() is used to evaluate the function call, and saveCache() is used to save the results to cache.
