Function Documentation

function varargout = filecache_function	(		funcptr,
			varargin
	)

function used for file-caching other function calls.

If an expensive function

         [E, F] = myfunction(A,B,C)

is called frequently during a program run, a filecaching can be used, i.e. one calls the function instead as

         [E, F] = filecache_function(@myfunction,A,B,C);

If the function result exists in the cache, this is loaded, otherwise the function is called, the result saved in the cache and the result returned.

• The cache-directory is assumed to be in RBMATLABTEMP/cache
• The cache-directory can be cleared with the function filecache_clear()

Parameters:

funcptr	is the pointer to a function whose calls are to be cached.
varargin	is parameter list of the cached function call

Return values:

varargout

return values of the cached function call
