-- into a table with the additional key `n` that contains the total number of
-- parameters given. This is not available on Lua 5.1, so [[Module:table/pack]]
-- provides the same functionality.

-- Memoizes a function or callable table.
-- Supports any number of arguments and return values.
-- If the optional parameter `simple` is set, then the memoizer will use a faster implementation, but this is only compatible with one argument and one return value. If `simple` is set, additional arguments will be accepted, but this should only be done if those arguments will always be the same.

-- Sentinels.
local _nil, neg_0, pos_nan, neg_nan = {}, {}, {}, {}

-- Certain values can't be used as table keys, so they require sentinels as well: e.g. f("foo", nil, "bar") would be memoized at memo["foo"][_nil]["bar"][memo]. These values are:
	-- nil.
	-- -0, which is equivalent to 0 in most situations, but becomes "-0" on conversion to string; it also behaves differently in some operations (e.g. 1/a evaluates to inf if a is 0, but -inf if a is -0).
	-- NaN and -NaN, which are the only values for which n == n is false; they only seem to differ on conversion to string ("nan" and "-nan").
local function get_key(x)
	if x == x then
		return x == nil and _nil or x == 0 and 1 / x < 0 and neg_0 or x
	end
	return sign(x) == 1 and pos_nan or neg_nan
end

-- Return values are memoized as tables of return values, which are looked up using each input argument as a key, followed by `memo`. e.g. if the input arguments were (1, 2, 3), the memo would be located at t[1][2][3][memo]. `memo` is always used as the final lookup key so that (for example) the memo for f(1, 2, 3), f[1][2][3][memo], doesn't interfere with the memo for f(1, 2), f[1][2][memo].
local function get_memo(memo, n, nargs, key, ...)
	key = get_key(key)
	local next_memo = memo[key]
	if next_memo == nil then
		next_memo = {}
		memo[key] = next_memo
	end
	memo = next_memo
	return n == nargs and memo or get_memo(memo, n + 1, nargs, ...)
end

-- Used to catch the function output values instead of using a table directly,
-- since pack() returns a table with the key `n`, giving the number of return
-- values, even if they are nil. This ensures that any nil return values after
-- the last non-nil value will always be present (e.g. pack() gives {n = 0},
-- pack(nil) gives {n = 1}, pack(nil, "foo", nil) gives {[2] = "foo", n = 3}
-- etc.). The distinction between nil and nothing affects some native functions
-- (e.g. tostring() throws an error, but tostring(nil) returns "nil"), so it
-- needs to be reconstructable from the memo.
