Constant Summary collapse

Version =

The base Versionomy representation of the package version.

Versionomy.parse('0.1.1')
VERSION =

The package version-as-a-string.

Version.to_s.freeze
SHARED =

Label informing accessor declarations that the variable is to be shared. This changes how some things are done (like default memcached cell names).

:SHARED
PRIVATE =

Marks a variable as deliberately private and unshared. It can still be accessed through memcached calls if you know how, but it isn’t made easy – it’s supposed to be private, after all.

:PRIVATE
Setup =

String constant used to set up most of the background magic common to all of our types of cached variables.

TODO: Resolve what to do if the instance variable is zapped

One of the fortunate side-effects of all of the methods calling this first is that if the instance variable gets zapped somehow, the next access to it through of of our methods will create a new Blob or Counter object and put it into the instance variable before proceeding.

One of the UNfortunate side effects of that is that if the object that was lost was locked, it cannot be unlocked through the normal paths – only the blob object itself is supposed to lock and unlock itself. It can be worked around, but that’s for another day.

If we decide against instantiating a new object, the ConnexionLost exception is ready to be pressed into service.

String to define a read accessor for the given cache variable.

"      def %s\nself.__send__(:_initialise_%s)\nreturn @%s.\n"            # :nodoc:

As above, except this is a storage (write) accessor, and is optional.

"      def %s=(*args)\nself.__send__(:_initialise_%s)\nreturn @%s.set(*ar\n"            # :nodoc:
EigenReader =

Actual code to create a read accessor for a cell.

Proc.new { |*args,&block| # :nodoc:
  shared = true
  if ([ :SHARED, :PRIVATE ].include?(args[0]))
    shared = (args.shift == :SHARED)
  end

EigenAccessor =

Code for a write accessor.

Proc.new { |*args,&block| # :nodoc:
  shared = true
  if ([ :SHARED, :PRIVATE ].include?(args[0]))
    shared = (args.shift == :SHARED)
  end

    class_eval(Reader % subslist[7, 3])
    class_eval(Writer % subslist[7, 3])

EigenCounter =

And the code for a counter (read and write access).

Proc.new { |*args,&block| # :nodoc:
  shared = true
  if ([ :SHARED, :PRIVATE ].include?(args[0]))
    shared = (args.shift == :SHARED)

    end
    name ||= '#{cellname}'
    subslist = (([ ivar_s ] * 3) +
                [ 'Counter', ivar_s, shared.inspect, name] +
                ([ ivar_s ] * 20))
    class_eval(Setup % subslist)
    subslist.delete_at(6)
    subslist.delete_at(5)
    subslist.delete_at(3)
    class_eval(Reader % subslist[7, 3])

.unwrap(target) ⇒ Object

Description

Removes any singleton methods added by the #enwrap class method. If the argument doesn’t have any (e.g., isn’t a value that was previously fetched), this is a no-op.

:call-seq: InstantCache.unwrap(target) => nil

Arguments

target

Variable containing value previously fetched from memcache.

Exceptions

None.
