Calling Sequence

Calling Sequence

forget( f, opts )

forget( f, a, b, c, ..., opts )

Parameters

f

-

procedure or module; the object to forget

a, b, c, ...

-

(optional) specific argument sequence for f

opts

-

options of the form keyword = true or false, where keyword is one of subfunctions, forgetpermanent or reinitialize

Description

• 

The forget function is used to clear remember tables of procedures.  Its precise action is controlled by the options given, whether f is a procedure or a module, and whether the remember table(s) in question is a pure remember table or a cache table.

• 

The options are:

– 

subfunctions = true or false (default: true)

If true, this causes forget(f) to also forget procedures related to f.  If f is a module, this means all procedures in the module, including procedures in submodules.  If f is a procedure which is not in a module, this means all procedures whose name is of the form f/.... If subfunctions=false and f is a an appliable module, only the remember table associated to the ModuleApply member of f is cleared. If subfunctions=false and f is a procedure which is not a module member, only the remember table associated to f itself is cleared. This option is ignored in the case when f is a procedure which is a module member.

– 

forgetpermanent = true or false (default: false)

If true then permanent entries in cache-based remember tables are also removed. If not given, or given as forgetpermanent=false, only temporary entries in cache-based remember tables are cleared. This option is ignored for non-cache-based remember tables.

– 

reinitialize = true or false (default: true)

This option only applies to the case when f is a procedure which is not a member of a module. In this case, if reinitialize=true, the corresponding procedure f is completely discarded and reloaded from its Maple archive, causing its remember table to be restored to its initial state.

• 

forget(f, a, b, c, ..., opts) restricts the action of forget to clearing only remember table entry(s) indexed by the argument list [a, b, c, ...], and subject to the interpretations implied by the options in opts.

• 

As a special case, specifying f as an empty range allows for selective clearing of remember table entries from all remember tables in the system.  This requires a second argument, to indicate which entries to clear. For example, forget(..,x), which will clear all remembered entries in the system that reference x.
