I beliwe that cache (memoize) object should be connected with result rather than with source function.
This way creating multiple memoized functions from thesame source function do not result in overlapping cache entries.
Ex.:
function(_thiz, _fn) { var _cache = undefined _cache = {}; var _r = (function(thiz, fn, cache){ return function() { var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments), hash = "", i = args.length; currentArg = null; while (i--) { currentArg = args[i]; hash += (currentArg === Object(currentArg)) ? JSON.stringify(currentArg) : currentArg; } cache.repo || (cache.repo = {}) cache.clearCache = function() { cache.repo = {}; }; return (cache.repo.hasOwnProperty(hash)) ? cache.repo[hash] : cache.repo[hash] = fn.apply(thiz, args); }; })(_thiz, _fn, _cache) _r._cache = _cache; return _r; }
