How do I write view adaptors that cache results?

View adaptors in C++ can be highly efficient when they utilize caching. Caching results can greatly enhance performance, especially when dealing with expensive computations or repeated data accesses. By storing the results of function calls, we can avoid unnecessary recomputation and improve the overall efficiency of our application.

Example of a Cached View Adaptor in C++

Below is a simple implementation of a view adaptor that caches results.

#include #include #include class CachedViewAdaptor { public: // Constructor that takes a function to adapt CachedViewAdaptor(std::function func) : func_(func) {} // Method to get result with caching int get(int input) { auto it = cache_.find(input); if (it != cache_.end()) { // Return cached result return it->second; } // Call the function and cache the result int result = func_(input); cache_[input] = result; return result; } private: std::function func_; std::unordered_map cache_; }; int main() { // Example usage: Square function CachedViewAdaptor squareAdaptor([](int x) { return x * x; }); std::cout << "Square of 4: " << squareAdaptor.get(4) << '\n'; // Computes and caches std::cout << "Square of 4: " << squareAdaptor.get(4) << '\n'; // Retrieves from cache return 0; }
