1252244 - Reduce boilerplate in caching done by mach artifact and consider uplifting to mozbuild

Status: NEW

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Manchester (limited bugmail, email directly)]

As I'm adding yet another cache class to mach artifact, I think a lot of the boilerplate could go away, and at least some of this could be lifted into mozbuild (and unified with @memoize).

I'd be happy to see this.  I'd be happy to stop decorating the caches and just manually process the caches during the functions, too -- it makes flags to disable caches, and complex cache retrieval logic simpler, IMO.
