Automatic deep copy of handle inside class object.

Is there any way in Matlab to have automatic deep copy of a handle object that is contained inside a class? Occassionally, class methods return values that are a result of a long calculation. It may be inconvenient for the caller to store them and pass them around. It is more convenient to pass the class object instead. I don't want to write:
Obj = Obj.CalculateSomething(...)
which can be inconvenient. Also the function name does not suggest that it is a modifier. I would rather have the class silently cache the calculated values. So I want to have a cache object. For example:
classdef Cache < handle
properties
Data;
end
methods
function this = Cache(varargin)
assert(iscellstr(varargin), 'Cache: Inputs must be valid variable names. ');
numfields = numel(varargin);
vals = cell(numfields, 1);
this.Data = cell2struct(vals, varargin(:), 1);
end
function val = Get(this, fname)
val = this.Data.(fname);
end
function Set(this, fname, val)
this.Data.(fname) = val;
end
end
end
Then if I want to cache data inside a class, say DataCruncher, I would write:
classdef DataCruncher
properties (Access = 'private')
h_cache;
% ... other properties ...
end
methods:
function PreciousVals = BigWork(dcobj)
PreciousVals = dcobj.h_cache.Get('Vals')
if isempty(PreciousVals)
% ... Big work ...
dcobj.h_cache.Set('Vals', PreciousVals);
end
end
end
end
Of course the cache is shared by any copies of DataCruncher objects. However it works fine as long as a new Cache object handle is created in any class method that modifies DataCruncher in a way that affects the BigWork() calculation.
But sometimes things get complicated, so I want the h_cache to be deep copied automatically whenever DataCruncher is copied.
Is there any way at all to do this in Matlab? Can Matlab.mixin.Copyable help?
Thank you.
