EXAMPLES:

By :trac:`11115`, cached functions and methods are now also
available in Cython code. The following examples cover various ways
of usage.

Python functions::

    sage: @cached_function
    ....: def test_pfunc(x):
    ....:     '''
    ....:     Some documentation
    ....:     '''
    ....:     return -x
    sage: test_pfunc(5) is test_pfunc(5)
    True

In some cases, one would only want to keep the result in cache as long
as there is any other reference to the result. By :trac:`12215`, this is
enabled for :class:`~sage.structure.unique_representation.UniqueRepresentation`,
which is used to create unique parents: If an algebraic structure, such
as a finite field, is only temporarily used, then it will not stay in
cache forever. That behaviour is implemented using ``weak_cached_function``,
that behaves the same as ``cached_function``, except that it uses a
:class:`~sage.misc.weak_dict.CachedWeakValueDictionary` for storing the results.

Cython cdef functions do not allow arbitrary decorators.
However, one can wrap a Cython function and turn it into
a cached function, by :trac:`11115`. We need to provide
the name that the wrapped method or function should have,
since otherwise the name of the original function would
be used::

    sage: cython('''cpdef test_funct(x): return -x''')
    sage: wrapped_funct = cached_function(test_funct, name='wrapped_funct')
    sage: wrapped_funct
    Cached version of <built-in function test_funct>
    sage: wrapped_funct.__name__
    'wrapped_funct'
    sage: wrapped_funct(5)
    -5
    sage: wrapped_funct(5) is wrapped_funct(5)
    True

We can proceed similarly for cached methods of Cython classes,
provided that they allow attribute assignment or have a public
attribute ``__cached_methods`` of type ``<dict>``. Since
:trac:`11115`, this is the case for all classes inheriting from
:class:`~sage.structure.parent.Parent`. See below for a more explicit
example. By :trac:`12951`, cached methods of extension classes can
be defined by simply using the decorator. However, an indirect
approach is still needed for cpdef methods::

    sage: cython_code = ['cpdef test_meth(self,x):',
    ....: '    "some doc for a wrapped cython method"',
    ....: '    return -x',
    ....: 'from sage.all import cached_method',
    ....: 'from sage.structure.parent cimport Parent',
    ....: 'cdef class MyClass(Parent):',
    ....: '    @cached_method',
    ....: '    def direct_method(self, x):',
    ....: '        "Some doc for direct method"',
    ....: '        return 2*x',
    ....: '    wrapped_method = cached_method(test_meth,name="wrapped_method")']
    sage: cython(os.linesep.join(cython_code))
    sage: O = MyClass()
    sage: O.direct_method
    Cached version of <method 'direct_method' of '...MyClass' objects>
    sage: O.wrapped_method
    Cached version of <built-in function test_meth>
    sage: O.wrapped_method.__name__
    'wrapped_method'
    sage: O.wrapped_method(5)
    -5
    sage: O.wrapped_method(5) is O.wrapped_method(5)
    True
    sage: O.direct_method(5)
    10
    sage: O.direct_method(5) is O.direct_method(5)
    True

In some cases, one would only want to keep the result in cache as long
as there is any other reference to the result. By :trac:`12215`, this is
enabled for :class:`~sage.structure.unique_representation.UniqueRepresentation`,
which is used to create unique parents: If an algebraic structure, such
as a finite field, is only temporarily used, then it will not stay in
cache forever. That behaviour is implemented using ``weak_cached_function``,
that behaves the same as ``cached_function``, except that it uses a
:class:`~sage.misc.weak_dict.CachedWeakValueDictionary` for storing the results.

By :trac:`11115`, even if a parent does not allow attribute
assignment, it can inherit a cached method from the parent class of a
category (previously, the cache would have been broken)::

    sage: cython_code = ["from sage.all import cached_method, cached_in_parent_method, Category, Objects",
    ....: "class MyCategory(Category):",
    ....: "    @cached_method",
    ....: "    def super_categories(self):",
    ....: "        return [Objects()]",
    ....: "    class ElementMethods:",
    ....: "        @cached_method",
    ....: "        def element_cache_test(self):",
    ....: "            return -self",
    ....: "        @cached_in_parent_method",
    ....: "        def element_via_parent_test(self):",
    ....: "            return -self",
    ....: "    class ParentMethods:",
    ....: "        @cached_method",
    ....: "        def one(self):",
    ....: "            return self.element_class(self,1)",
    ....: "        @cached_method",
    ....: "        def invert(self, x):",
    ....: "            return -x"]
    sage: cython('\n'.join(cython_code))
    sage: C = MyCategory()

In order to keep the memory footprint of elements small, it was
decided to not support the same freedom of using cached methods
for elements: If an instance of a class derived from
:class:`~sage.structure.element.Element` does not allow attribute
assignment, then a cached method inherited from the category of
its parent will break, as in the class ``MyBrokenElement`` below.

However, there is a class :class:`~sage.structure.element.ElementWithCachedMethod`
that has generally a slower attribute access, but fully supports
cached methods. We remark, however, that cached methods are
*much* faster if attribute access works. So, we expect that
:class:`~sage.structure.element.ElementWithCachedMethod` will
hardly by used.
::

    sage: cython_code = ["from sage.structure.element cimport Element, ElementWithCachedMethod", "from cpython.object cimport PyObject_RichCompare",
    ....: "cdef class MyBrokenElement(Element):",
    ....: "    cdef public object x",
    ....: "    def __init__(self,P,x):",
    ....: "        self.x=x",
    ....: "        Element.__init__(self,P)",
    ....: "    def __neg__(self):",
    ....: "        return MyBrokenElement(self.parent(),-self.x)",
    ....: "    def _repr_(self):",

    ....: "    def __hash__(self):",
    ....: "        return hash(self.x)",

    ....: "        return PyObject_RichCompare(left.x, right.x, op)",
    ....: "    def raw_test(self):",
    ....: "        return -self",
    ....: "cdef class MyElement(ElementWithCachedMethod):",
    ....: "    cdef public object x",
    ....: "    def __init__(self,P,x):",
    ....: "        self.x=x",
    ....: "        ElementWithCachedMethod.__init__(self,P)",
    ....: "    def __neg__(self):",
    ....: "        return MyElement(self.parent(),-self.x)",
    ....: "    def _repr_(self):",
    ....: "        return '<%s>'%self.x",
    ....: "    def __hash__(self):",
    ....: "        return hash(self.x)",
    ....: "    cpdef _richcmp_(left, right, int op):",
    ....: "        return PyObject_RichCompare(left.x, right.x, op)",
    ....: "    def raw_test(self):",
    ....: "        return -self",
    ....: "from sage.structure.parent cimport Parent",
    ....: "cdef class MyParent(Parent):",
    ....: "    Element = MyElement"]
    sage: cython('\n'.join(cython_code))
    sage: P = MyParent(category=C)
    sage: ebroken = MyBrokenElement(P,5)
    sage: e = MyElement(P,5)

The cached methods inherited by the parent works::

    sage: P.one()
    <1>
    sage: P.one() is P.one()
    True
    sage: P.invert(e)
    <-5>
    sage: P.invert(e) is P.invert(e)
    True

The cached methods inherited by ``MyElement`` works::

    sage: e.element_cache_test()
    <-5>
    sage: e.element_cache_test() is e.element_cache_test()
    True
    sage: e.element_via_parent_test()
    <-5>
    sage: e.element_via_parent_test() is e.element_via_parent_test()
    True

The other element class can only inherit a ``cached_in_parent_method``, since
the cache is stored in the parent. In fact, equal elements share the cache,
even if they are of different types::

    sage: e == ebroken
    True
    sage: type(e) == type(ebroken)
    False
    sage: ebroken.element_via_parent_test() is e.element_via_parent_test()
    True

However, the cache of the other inherited method breaks, although the method
as such works::

    sage: ebroken.element_cache_test()
    <-5>
    sage: ebroken.element_cache_test() is ebroken.element_cache_test()
    False

The cache can be emptied::

    sage: a = test_pfunc(5)
    sage: test_pfunc.clear_cache()
    sage: a is test_pfunc(5)
    False
    sage: a = P.one()
    sage: P.one.clear_cache()
    sage: a is P.one()
    False

Since ``e`` and ``ebroken`` share the cache, when we empty it for one element
it is empty for the other as well::

    sage: b = ebroken.element_via_parent_test()
    sage: e.element_via_parent_test.clear_cache()
    sage: b is ebroken.element_via_parent_test()
    False

Introspection works::

    sage: from sage.misc.edit_module import file_and_line
    sage: from sage.misc.sageinspect import sage_getdoc, sage_getfile, sage_getsource
    sage: print(sage_getdoc(test_pfunc))
       Some documentation
    sage: print(sage_getdoc(O.wrapped_method))
    some doc for a wrapped cython method
    <BLANKLINE>
    sage: print(sage_getdoc(O.direct_method))
    Some doc for direct method
    <BLANKLINE>
    sage: print(sage_getsource(O.wrapped_method))
    cpdef test_meth(self,x):
        "some doc for a wrapped cython method"
        return -x
    sage: print(sage_getsource(O.direct_method))
    def direct_method(self, x):
        "Some doc for direct method"
        return 2*x

It is a very common special case to cache a method that has no
arguments. In that special case, the time needed to access the cache
can be drastically reduced by using a special implementation. The
cached method decorator automatically determines which implementation
ought to be chosen. A typical example is
:meth:`sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_ideal.MPolynomialIdeal.gens`
(no arguments) versus
:meth:`sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_ideal.MPolynomialIdeal.groebner_basis`
(several arguments)::

    sage: P.<a,b,c,d> = QQ[]
    sage: I = P*[a,b]
    sage: I.gens()
    [a, b]
    sage: I.gens() is I.gens()
    True
    sage: I.groebner_basis()
    [a, b]
    sage: I.groebner_basis() is I.groebner_basis()
    True
    sage: type(I.gens)
    <type 'sage.misc.cachefunc.CachedMethodCallerNoArgs'>
    sage: type(I.groebner_basis)
    <type 'sage.misc.cachefunc.CachedMethodCaller'>

By :trac:`12951`, the cached_method decorator is also supported on non-c(p)def
methods of extension classes, as long as they either support attribute assignment
or have a public attribute of type ``<dict>`` called ``__cached_methods``. The
latter is easy::

    sage: cython_code = [
    ....: "from sage.misc.cachefunc import cached_method",
    ....: "cdef class MyClass:",
    ....: "    cdef public dict __cached_methods",
    ....: "    @cached_method",
    ....: "    def f(self, a,b):",
    ....: "        return a*b"]
    sage: cython(os.linesep.join(cython_code))
    sage: P = MyClass()
    sage: P.f(2,3)
    6
    sage: P.f(2,3) is P.f(2,3)
    True

Providing attribute access is a bit more tricky, since it is needed that
an attribute inherited by the instance from its class can be overridden
on the instance. That is why providing a ``__getattr__`` would not be
enough in the following example::

    sage: cython_code = [
    ....: "from sage.misc.cachefunc import cached_method",
    ....: "cdef class MyOtherClass:",
    ....: "    cdef dict D",
    ....: "    def __init__(self):",
    ....: "        self.D = {}",
    ....: "    def __setattr__(self, n,v):",
    ....: "        self.D[n] = v",
    ....: "    def __getattribute__(self, n):",
    ....: "        try:",
    ....: "            return self.D[n]",
    ....: "        except KeyError:",
    ....: "            pass",
    ....: "        return getattr(type(self),n).__get__(self)",
    ....: "    @cached_method",
    ....: "    def f(self, a,b):",
    ....: "        return a+b"]
    sage: cython(os.linesep.join(cython_code))
    sage: Q = MyOtherClass()
    sage: Q.f(2,3)
    5
    sage: Q.f(2,3) is Q.f(2,3)
    True

Note that supporting attribute access is somehow faster than the
easier method::

    sage: timeit("a = P.f(2,3)")   # random
    625 loops, best of 3: 1.3 µs per loop
    sage: timeit("a = Q.f(2,3)")   # random
    625 loops, best of 3: 931 ns per loop

Some immutable objects (such as `p`-adic numbers) cannot implement a
reasonable hash function because their ``==`` operator has been
modified to return ``True`` for objects which might behave differently
in some computations::

    sage: K.<a> = Qq(9)
    sage: b = a.add_bigoh(1)
    sage: c = a + 3
    sage: b
    a + O(3)
    sage: c
    a + 3 + O(3^20)
    sage: b == c
    True
    sage: b == a
    True
    sage: c == a
    False

If such objects defined a non-trivial hash function, this would break
caching in many places. However, such objects should still be usable
in caches. This can be achieved by defining an appropriate method
``_cache_key``::

    sage: hash(b)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    TypeError: unhashable type: 'sage.rings.padics.qadic_flint_CR.qAdicCappedRelativeElement'
    sage: @cached_method
    ....: def f(x): return x == a
    sage: f(b)
    True
    sage: f(c) # if b and c were hashable, this would return True
    False

    sage: b._cache_key()
    (..., ((0, 1),), 0, 1)
    sage: c._cache_key()
    (..., ((0, 1), (1,)), 0, 20)

.. NOTE::

    This attribute will only be accessed if the object itself
    is not hashable.

An implementation must make sure that for elements ``a`` and ``b``,
if ``a != b``, then also ``a._cache_key() != b._cache_key()``.
In practice this means that the ``_cache_key`` should always include
the parent as its first argument::

    sage: S.<a> = Qq(4)
    sage: d = a.add_bigoh(1)
    sage: b._cache_key() == d._cache_key() # this would be True if the parents were not included
    False

    Helper function to return a hashable key for ``o`` which can be used for

    This function is intended for objects which are not hashable such as
    `p`-adic numbers. The difference from calling an object's ``_cache_key``
    method directly, is that it also works for tuples and unpacks them
    recursively (if necessary, i.e., if they are not hashable).

cdef class CachedFunction(object):
    """
    Create a cached version of a function, which only recomputes
    values it hasn't already computed. Synonyme: ``cached_function``

    INPUT:

    - ``f`` -- a function
    - ``name`` -- (optional string) name that the cached version
      of ``f`` should be provided with
    - ``key`` -- (optional callable) takes the input and returns a
      key for the cache, typically one would use this to normalize input
    - ``do_pickle`` -- (optional boolean) whether or not the contents of the
      cache should be included when pickling this function; the default is not
      to include them.

    If ``f`` is a function, do either ``g = CachedFunction(f)``
    or ``g = cached_function(f)`` to make a cached version of ``f``,
    or put ``@cached_function`` right before the definition of ``f``
    (i.e., use Python decorators)::

        @cached_function
        def f(...):
            ....

    The inputs to the function must be hashable or they must define
    :meth:`sage.structure.sage_object.SageObject._cache_key`.

    EXAMPLES::

        sage: @cached_function
        ....: def mul(x, y=2):
        ....:     return x*y
        sage: mul(3)
        6

    We demonstrate that the result is cached, and that, moreover,
    the cache takes into account the various ways of providing
    default arguments::

        sage: mul(3) is mul(3,2)
        True
        sage: mul(3,y=2) is mul(3,2)
        True

    The user can clear the cache::

        sage: a = mul(4)
        sage: mul.clear_cache()
        sage: a is mul(4)
        False

    It is also possible to explicitly override the cache with
    a different value::

        sage: mul.set_cache('foo',5)
        sage: mul(5,2)
        'foo'

    The parameter ``key`` can be used to ignore parameters for
    caching. In this example we ignore the parameter ``algorithm``::

        sage: @cached_function(key=lambda x,y,algorithm: (x,y))
        ....: def mul(x, y, algorithm="default"):
        ....:     return x*y

    A version of :class:`CachedFunction` using weak references on the
    values.

    If ``f`` is a function, do either ``g = weak_cached_function(f)`` to make
    a cached version of ``f``, or put ``@weak_cached_function`` right before
    the definition of ``f`` (i.e., use Python decorators)::

        @weak_cached_function
        def f(...):
            ...

    As an exception meant to improve performance, the most recently
    computed values are strongly referenced. The number of strongly
    cached values can be controlled by the ``cache`` keyword.

    EXAMPLES::

        sage: from sage.misc.cachefunc import weak_cached_function
        sage: class A: pass
        sage: @weak_cached_function(cache=0)
        ....: def f():

        ....:     return A()
        sage: a = f()
        doing a computation

    The result is cached::

        sage: b = f()
        sage: a is b
        True

    However, if there are no strong references left, the result is
    deleted, and thus a new computation takes place::

        sage: del a
        sage: del b
        sage: a = f()
        doing a computation

    Above, we used the ``cache=0`` keyword. With a larger value, the
    most recently computed values are cached anyway, even if they are
    not referenced::

        sage: @weak_cached_function(cache=3)
        ....: def f(x):
        ....:     print("doing a computation for x={}".format(x))
        ....:     return A()
        sage: a = f(1); del a
        doing a computation for x=1
        sage: a = f(2), f(1); del a
        doing a computation for x=2
        sage: a = f(3), f(1); del a

        sage: a = f(4), f(1); del a
        doing a computation for x=4
        doing a computation for x=1
        sage: a = f(5), f(1); del a
        doing a computation for x=5

    The parameter ``key`` can be used to ignore parameters for
    caching. In this example we ignore the parameter ``algorithm``::

        sage: @weak_cached_function(key=lambda x,algorithm: x)
        ....: def mod_ring(x, algorithm="default"):
        ....:     return IntegerModRing(x)

class CachedMethodPickle(object):
    """
    This class helps to unpickle cached methods.

    .. NOTE::

        Since :trac:`8611`, a cached method is an attribute
        of the instance (provided that it has a ``__dict__``).
        Hence, when pickling the instance, it would be attempted
        to pickle that attribute as well, but this is a problem,
        since functions can not be pickled, currently. Therefore,
        we replace the actual cached method by a place holder,
        that kills itself as soon as any attribute is requested.
        Then, the original cached attribute is reinstated. But the
        cached values are in fact saved (if `do_pickle` is set.)

    EXAMPLES::

        sage: R.<x, y, z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3)
        sage: I = R*(x^3 + y^3 + z^3,x^4-y^4)
        sage: I.groebner_basis()
        [y^5*z^3 - 1/4*x^2*z^6 + 1/2*x*y*z^6 + 1/4*y^2*z^6,
         x^2*y*z^3 - x*y^2*z^3 + 2*y^3*z^3 + z^6,
         x*y^3 + y^4 + x*z^3, x^3 + y^3 + z^3]
        sage: I.groebner_basis
        Cached version of <function ...groebner_basis at 0x...>

    We now pickle and unpickle the ideal. The cached method
    ``groebner_basis`` is replaced by a placeholder::

        sage: J = loads(dumps(I))
        sage: J.groebner_basis
        Pickle of the cached method "groebner_basis"

    But as soon as any other attribute is requested from the
    placeholder, it replaces itself by the cached method, and
    the entries of the cache are actually preserved::

        sage: J.groebner_basis.is_in_cache()
        True
        sage: J.groebner_basis
        Cached version of <function ...groebner_basis at 0x...>
        sage: J.groebner_basis() == I.groebner_basis()
        True

    TESTS:

    Since :trac:`11115`, there is a special implementation for
    cached methods that don't take arguments::

        sage: class A:
        ....:     @cached_method(do_pickle=True)
        ....:     def f(self): return 1
        ....:     @cached_method(do_pickle=True)
        ....:     def g(self, x): return x

        sage: import __main__
        sage: __main__.A = A
        sage: a = A()
        sage: type(a.f)
        <type 'sage.misc.cachefunc.CachedMethodCallerNoArgs'>
        sage: type(a.g)
        <type 'sage.misc.cachefunc.CachedMethodCaller'>

    We demonstrate that both implementations can be pickled and
    preserve the cache. For that purpose, we assign nonsense to the
    cache. Of course, it is a very bad idea to override the cache in
    that way.  So, please don't try this at home::

        sage: a.f.set_cache(0)
        sage: a.f()
        0
        sage: a.g.set_cache(0,x=1)
        sage: a.g(1)
        0
        sage: b = loads(dumps(a))
        sage: b.f()
        0
        sage: b.g(1)
        0

    Anyway, the cache will be automatically reconstructed after
    clearing it::

        sage: a.f.clear_cache()
        sage: a.f()
        1

        sage: a.g.clear_cache()

        Get a :class:`CachedMethodCaller` bound to a specific
        instance of the class of the cached method.

        NOTE:

        :class:`CachedMethodCaller` has a separate ``__get__``
        since the categories framework creates and caches the
        return value of ``CachedMethod.__get__`` with
        ``inst==None``.

        This getter attempts to assign a bound method as an
        attribute to the given instance. If this is not
        possible (for example, for some extension classes),
        it is attempted to find an attribute ``__cached_methods``,
        and store/retrieve the bound method there. In that
        way, cached methods can be implemented for extension
        classes deriving from :class:`~sage.structure.parent.Parent`
        and :class:`~sage.structure.element.Element`.

        TESTS:

        Due to the separate ``__get__`` method, it is possible
        to define a cached method in one class and use it as
        an attribute of another class. ::

            sage: class Foo:
            ....:     @cached_method
            ....:     def f(self, y):
            ....:         return y - 1
            sage: class Bar:
            ....:     f = Foo.f
            sage: b1 = Bar()
            sage: b2 = Bar()

        The :class:`CachedMethod` is replaced by an instance
        of :class:`CachedMethodCaller` that (by :trac:`8611`)
        is set as an attribute. Hence, we have::

            sage: b1.f is b1.f
            True

        Any instance of ``Bar`` gets its own instance of
        :class:`CachedMethodCaller``::

            sage: b1.f is b2.f
            False

        The method caller knows the instance that it belongs
        to::

            sage: Foo.f._instance is None
            True
            sage: b1.f._instance is b1
            True
            sage: b2.f._instance is b2
            True

        An extension class can inherit a cached method from the
        parent or element class of a category (:trac:`11115`).
        See :class:`CachedMethodCaller` for examples.

        Verify that :trac:`16337` has been resolved::

            sage: class Foo:

        since the categories framework creates and caches the
        return value of ``CachedMethod.__get__`` with
        ``inst==None``.

        This getter attempts to assign a bound method as an
        attribute to the given instance. If this is not
        possible (for example, for some extension classes),
        it is attempted to find an attribute ``__cached_methods``,
        and store/retrieve the bound method there. In that
        way, cached methods can be implemented for extension
        classes deriving from :class:`~sage.structure.parent.Parent`
        and :class:`~sage.structure.element.Element`.

        TESTS:

        Due to the separate ``__get__`` method, it is possible
        to define a cached method in one class and use it as
        an attribute of another class. ::

            ....:     f = Foo.f
            sage: b1 = Bar()
            sage: b2 = Bar()

        The :class:`CachedMethod` is replaced by an instance of
        :class:`CachedMethodCallerNoArgs` that is set as an
        attribute. Hence, we have::

        For proper behavior, the method must be a pure function (no side

        something hashable using ``key`` or they must define
        :meth:`sage.structure.sage_object.SageObject._cache_key`.

    EXAMPLES::

        sage: class Foo(object):

    identical for equivalent input::

        sage: res = a.f(3, 2); res
        computing
        9

        True
        sage: a.f(3) is res

    Note, however, that the :class:`CachedMethod` is replaced by a

    as soon as it is bound to an instance or class::

        sage: type(I.__class__.gens)
        <type 'sage.misc.cachefunc.CachedMethodCallerNoArgs'>

    So, you would hardly ever see an instance of this class alive.

    The parameter ``key`` can be used to pass a function which creates a
    custom cache key for inputs. In the following example, this parameter is
    used to ignore the ``algorithm`` keyword for caching::

        sage: class A(object):
        ....:     def _f_normalize(self, x, algorithm): return x
        ....:     @cached_method(key=_f_normalize)
        ....:     def f(self, x, algorithm='default'): return x
        sage: a = A()
        sage: a.f(1, algorithm="default") is a.f(1) is a.f(1, algorithm="algorithm")
        True

    The parameter ``do_pickle`` can be used to enable pickling of the cache.
    Usually the cache is not stored when pickling::

        sage: class A(object):
        ....:     @cached_method
        ....:     def f(self, x): return None

        0

    When ``do_pickle`` is set, the pickle contains the contents of the cache::

        sage: class A(object):
        ....:     @cached_method(do_pickle=True)
        ....:     def f(self, x): return None
        sage: __main__.A = A
        sage: a = A()
        sage: a.f(1)
        sage: len(a.f.cache)
        1
        sage: b = loads(dumps(a))
        sage: len(b.f.cache)
        1

    Cached methods can not be copied like usual methods, see :trac:`12603`.
    Copying them can lead to very surprising results::

        sage: class A:
        ....:     @cached_method
        ....:     def f(self):

    def __init__(self, f, name=None, key=None, do_pickle=None):
        """
        EXAMPLES::

            sage: class Foo(object):
            ....:     def __init__(self, x):
            ....:         self._x = x

            4
            sage: a.f0()
            4

        The computations in method ``f`` are tried to store in a
        dictionary assigned to the instance ``a``::

            sage: hasattr(a, '_cache__f')
            True
            sage: a._cache__f
            {((2,), ()): 4}

        As a shortcut, useful to speed up internal computations,
        the same dictionary is also available as an attribute
        of the ``CachedMethodCaller``::

            sage: type(a.f)
            <type 'sage.misc.cachefunc.CachedMethodCaller'>
            sage: a.f.cache is a._cache__f
            True

        Note that if the instance ``a`` would not accept attribute
        assignment, the computations would still be cached in
        ``a.f.cache``, and they would in fact be preserved when
        pickling.

        The cached method ``f0`` accepts no arguments, which allows
        for an improved way of caching: By an attribute of the cached
        method itself. This cache is *only* available in that way, i.e.,
        it is not additionally stored as an attribute of ``a``::

            sage: type(a.f0)
            <type 'sage.misc.cachefunc.CachedMethodCallerNoArgs'>
            sage: a.f0.cache

            sage: f.__name__

cdef class CachedSpecialMethod(CachedMethod):
    """
    Cached version of *special* python methods.

    IMPLEMENTATION:

    For new style classes ``C``, it is not possible to override a special
    method, such as ``__hash__``, in the ``__dict__`` of an instance ``c`` of
    ``C``, because Python will for efficiency reasons always use what is
    provided by the class, not by the instance.

    By consequence, if ``__hash__`` would be wrapped by using
    :class:`CachedMethod`, then ``hash(c)`` will access ``C.__hash__`` and bind
    it to ``c``, which means that the ``__get__`` method of
    :class:`CachedMethod` will be called. But there, we assume that Python has
    already inspected ``__dict__``, and thus a :class:`CachedMethodCaller`
    will be created over and over again.

    Here, the ``__get__`` method will explicitly access the ``__dict__``, so that
    ``hash(c)`` will rely on a single :class:`CachedMethodCaller` stored in
    the ``__dict__``.

    EXAMPLES::

        sage: class C:
        ....:     @cached_method
        ....:     def __hash__(self):
        ....:         print("compute hash")

        sage: c = C()
        sage: type(C.__hash__)
        <type 'sage.misc.cachefunc.CachedMethodCallerNoArgs'>

    The hash is computed only once, subsequent calls will use the value from
    the cache. This was implemented in :trac:`12601`.

    When calling a cached method for the second time with the same arguments,
    the value is gotten from the cache, so that a new computation is not

        computing cached method
        8

    Using cached methods for the hash and other special methods was
    implemented in :trac:`12601`, by means of :class:`CachedSpecialMethod`. We
    show that it is used behind the scenes::

        sage: cached_method(c.__hash__)
        <sage.misc.cachefunc.CachedSpecialMethod object at ...>
        sage: cached_method(c.f)
        <sage.misc.cachefunc.CachedMethod object at ...>

    The parameter ``do_pickle`` can be used if the contents of the cache should be
    stored in a pickle of the cached method. This can be dangerous with special
    methods such as ``__hash__``::

        sage: class C:
        ....:     @cached_method(do_pickle=True)
        ....:     def __hash__(self):
        ....:         return id(self)

        sage: import __main__
        sage: __main__.C = C
        sage: c = C()
        sage: hash(c) # random output
        sage: d = loads(dumps(c))
        sage: hash(d) == hash(c)
        True

    However, the contents of a method's cache are not pickled unless ``do_pickle``
    is set::

        sage: class C:
        ....:     @cached_method
        ....:     def __hash__(self):
        ....:         return id(self)

        sage: c = C()
        sage: hash(c) # random output
        sage: d = loads(dumps(c))
        sage: hash(d) == hash(c)
        False

cdef class CachedInParentMethod(CachedMethod):
    r"""
    A decorator that creates a cached version of an instance
    method of a class.

    In contrast to :class:`CachedMethod`,
    the cache dictionary is an attribute of the parent of
    the instance to which the method belongs.

    ASSUMPTION:

    This way of caching works only if

    - the instances *have* a parent, and
    - the instances are hashable (they are part of the cache key) or they
      define :meth:`sage.structure.sage_object.SageObject._cache_key`

    NOTE:

    For proper behavior, the method must be a pure function (no side effects).
    If this decorator is used on a method, it will have identical output on
    equal elements. This is since the element is part of the hash key.
    Arguments to the method must be hashable or define
    :meth:`sage.structure.sage_object.SageObject._cache_key`.  The instance it
    is assigned to must be hashable.

    Examples can be found at :mod:`~sage.misc.cachefunc`.

        Constructs a new method with cache stored in the parent of the instance.

        For speeding up internal computations, this dictionary
        is also accessible as an attribute of the CachedMethodCaller
        (by :trac:`8611`)::

            sage: a.parent()._cache__element_f is a.f.cache
            True

        TESTS:

        Test that ``key`` works::

            sage: class A(object):
            ....:     def __init__(self):
            ....:         self._parent = MyParent()
            ....:     def parent(self): return self._parent
            ....:     def _f_normalize(self, x, algorithm): return x
            ....:     @cached_in_parent_method(key=_f_normalize)
            ....:     def f(self, x, algorithm='default'): return x
            sage: a = A()
            sage: a.f(1, algorithm="default") is a.f(1) is a.f(1, algorithm="algorithm")
            True

        Test that ``do_pickle`` works. Usually the contents of the cache are not
        pickled::

            sage: class A(object):
            ....:     def __init__(self):
            ....:         self._parent = MyParent()
            ....:     def parent(self): return self._parent
            ....:     @cached_in_parent_method
            ....:     def f(self, x): return x
            sage: import __main__
            sage: __main__.A = A
            sage: __main__.MyParent = MyParent
            sage: a = A()
            sage: a.f(1)
            1
            sage: len(a.f.cache)
            1
            sage: b = loads(dumps(a))
            sage: len(b.f.cache)
            0

        Pickling can be enabled with ``do_pickle``::

            {(My 2, ((), ())): 8}

        Since the key for the cache depends on equality of
        the instances, we obtain *identical* result for
        *equal* instance - even though in this particular
        example the result is wrong::

            sage: b = Foo(-2)
            sage: a is not b
            True
            sage: a == b
            True
            sage: b.f() is a.f()
            True

        Non-equal instances do not share the result of
        the cached method, but they do share the cache::

            sage: c = Foo(3)
            sage: c.f()

        attribute of the cached method, which speeds
        up internal computations::

    :class:`FileCache` is a dictionary-like class which stores keys

      exact object which is uniquely identified by a short string.

    - ``K`` is a tuple of tuples ``(s,v)`` where ``s`` is a valid

      identified by a short string with letters [a-zA-Z0-9-._]
