CacheTable -- hash tables for caching

The type CacheTable is a member of the class Type. Each object of class CacheTable is called a cache table. Each cache table is also a member of class MutableHashTable.

More general types (whose methods may also apply) :

  • MutableHashTable -- the class of all mutable hash tables
  • HashTable -- the class of all hash tables
  • A type of mutable hash table designed for caching computed values that could always be recomputed. Cache tables are designed so their contents will not participate in any comparisons by the strict comparison operator ===. To that end, any two cache tables with the same class and parent are considered equal to each other and have hash code equal to 0.
