//! # Simple Memoization Library
//!
//! `core_memo` is a simple, straightforward, zero-cost library for lazy
//! evaluation and memoization. It does not do memory allocations or dynamic
//! dispatch and it is `#![no_std]`-compatible.
//!
//! You must define a custom type to represent your computation and implement
//! the `Memoize` trait for it. Then, you can use it with the `Memo`, `MemoExt`,
//! or `MemoOnce` types to lazily evaluate and cache the value.
//!
//! Here is an example:
//!
//! ```
//! use core_memo::{Memoize, Memo, MemoExt};
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq)] // for assert_eq! later
//! struct MemoSum(i32);
//!
//! impl Memoize for MemoSum {
//!     type Param = [i32];
//!
//!     fn memoize(p: &[i32]) -> MemoSum {
//!         MemoSum(p.iter().sum())
//!     }
//! }
//!
//!
//! // The `Memo` type holds ownership over the parameter for the calculation
//!
//! let mut memo: Memo<MemoSum, _> = Memo::new(vec![1, 2]);
//!
//! // Our `memoize` method is called the first time we call `memo.get()`
//! assert_eq!(memo.get(), &MemoSum(3));
//!
//! // Further calls to `memo.get()` return the cached value without reevaluating
//! assert_eq!(memo.get(), &MemoSum(3));
//!
//!
//! // We can mutate the parameter held inside the `Memo`:
//!
//! // via a mutable reference
//! memo.param_mut().push(3);
//! // via a closure
//! memo.update_param(|p| p.push(4));
//!
//! // either way, the `Memo` forgets any cached value and it will be
//! // reevaluated on the next call to `memo.get()`
//!
//! assert_eq!(memo.get(), &MemoSum(10)); // the vec is now `[1, 2, 3, 4]`
//! ```
//!
//! There are 3 different wrapper types: `Memo`, `MemoExt`, and `MemoOnce`.
//!
//!   - `Memo` contains / holds ownership over the parameter for the computation.
//!     This makes it the easiest and safest to use, but could limit your
//!     flexibility in more complex scenarios.
//!
//!   - `MemoExt` does not keep track of the parameter. This means that you have
//!     to provide it externally with every call to `get()` and manually call
//!     `clear()` whenever the value needs to be reevaluated. This makes it more
//!     cumbersome and error-prone, but gives you full flexibility to manage the
//!     input parameter however you want.
//!
//!   - `MemoOnce` holds a shared reference to the parameter. This lets you
//!     manage the parameter externally, but you cannot mutate it as long as the
//!     `MemoOnce` is alive. This could be useful for one-off computations.
//!
//! ## Implementation Notes
//!
//! ### Why do the types not implement `Deref`/`DerefMut`?
//!
//! `Deref` takes `&self`, so it cannot mutate the object to cache the result
//! of the computation. `DerefMut` requires `Deref`.
//!
//! Also, while such implementations would save some typing by making the use
//! implicit, I believe this is undesirable. It is against the spirit of Rust to
//! make potentially-expensive computations implicit and hide them. This is why
//! `.clone()` is explicit and why `Cell`/`RefCell` need explicit method calls.
//!
//! ### Why not use interior mutability?
//!
//! The design of this library follows KISS principles. It should be simple,
//! straightforward, composable. No hidden magic. No surprises.
//!
//! You are free to wrap these objects in whatever you like if you need to use
//! them in an immutable context.
//!
//! The current design of the library makes it as widely-useful as possible.

/// Represents a computation that is to be memoized
///
/// To use this library, you should define a custom type representing the output
/// of your computation and implement this trait on it to specify how to compute
/// it. You then wrap your custom type in a `Memo`, `MemoExt`, or `MemoOnce`,
/// depending on the semantics you need.
///
/// ## Notes
///
/// If you need more that one input parameter for your computation, you can use
/// a tuple for the `Param` type or define a custom type for it.
///
/// If your computation does not use any input, `Param` can be `()` or `!`.
///
/// `Param` can also be an unsized type like `str` or `[T]` to work on slices.
///
/// ## Example
///
/// ```
/// use core_memo::{Memoize, Memo};
///
/// #[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
/// struct Repeater(String);
///
/// impl Memoize for Repeater {
///     type Param = (String, usize);
///
///     fn memoize(p: &Self::Param) -> Self {
///         let (string, count) = p;
///         let mut r = String::new();
///         for _i in 0..*count {
///             r.push_str(&string);
///         }
///         Repeater(r)
///     }
/// }
///
/// let mut memo: Memo<Repeater, _> = Memo::new(("abc".into(), 3));
///
/// assert_eq!(memo.get().0, "abcabcabc");
/// ```
///
pub trait Memoize {
    type Param: ?Sized;

    fn memoize(p: &Self::Param) -> Self;
}

/// Memoized value with a parameter provided externally
///
/// See the crate-level documentation for information how to use the library.
///
/// This is the simplest memoization type, but the trickiest to use.
///
/// This type does not keep track of the parameter for the computation and
/// requires you to provide it externally with every call to `get()`.
///
/// You need to make sure to manually call `clear()` to invalidate the cached
/// output whenever you need it to be reevaluated (typically after mutating
/// the input parameter). You probably also want to make sure that you provide
/// the same parameter every time you call `get()`.
///
/// It is very easy to introduce logic bugs in your program with this type. You
/// should prefer the `Memo` or `MemoOnce` types, unless you need the extra
/// flexibility provided by `MemoExt`.
///
/// ## Example
///
/// ```
/// use core_memo::{Memoize, MemoExt};
///
/// // something trivial for the sake of example
/// struct CopyInt(i32);
///
/// impl Memoize for CopyInt {
///     type Param = i32;
///     fn memoize(p: &i32) -> Self {
///         CopyInt(*p)
///     }
/// }
///
/// // notice we do not provide a param to `new()`:
/// let mut memo: MemoExt<CopyInt> = MemoExt::new();
///
/// let param = 420;
///
/// // we have to manually provide the param with each call to get
/// assert_eq!(memo.get(&param).0, 420);
///
/// let meaning_of_life = 42;
///
/// // we have the freedom to do whatever we want with the param and
/// // provide anything to the `MemoExt`:
///
/// println!("The meaning of life is {}.", memo.get(&meaning_of_life).0);
///
/// // ^ WHOOPS: This actually prints "The meaning of life is 420." :D
/// // This is because we haven't called `clear()` to invalidate the previous
/// // cached value! This could be a bug in your program!
///
/// memo.clear();
///
/// // now our computation will be reevaluated:
/// assert_eq!(memo.get(&meaning_of_life).0, 42);
///
/// ```
