Previously, we had several reimplementations of the same basic caching mechanisms. In particular,
cleanAfterRun()
-based removal of caches not used in a given run.In this commit, we introduce common caching utilities. The provide common implementations of the various idioms that we use. This simplifies all the use sites, which can now focus on their core logic, instead of mixing it with caching mechanisms.
The abstraction is not zero-cost everywhere. It may introduce some constant overhead.
