                        (if not provided, search will not return any result).
    :param store: store computed value in database
                  (see :ref:`The *store* parameter <field-function-store>`).
    :type store: True or dict specifying triggers for field computation
    :param multi: name of batch for batch computation of function fields.
                  All fields with the same batch name will be computed by
                  a single function call. This changes the signature of the
                  ``fnct`` callable.

    .. _field-function-fnct: The ``fnct`` parameter

    .. rubric:: The ``fnct`` parameter

    The callable implementing the function field must have the following signature:

    .. function:: fnct(model, cr, uid, ids, field_name(s), arg, context)

        Implements the function field.

        :param orm model: model to which the field belongs (should be ``self`` for
                          a model method)
        :param field_name(s): name of the field to compute, or if ``multi`` is provided,
                              list of field names to compute.
        :type field_name(s): str | [str]
        :param arg: arbitrary value passed when declaring the function field
        :rtype: dict
        :return: mapping of ``ids`` to computed values, or if multi is provided,
                 to a map of field_names to computed values

    The values in the returned dictionary must be of the type specified by the type
    argument in the field declaration.

    Here is an example with a simple function ``char`` function field::

        # declarations
        def compute(self, cr, uid, ids, field_name, arg, context):
            result = {}
            # ...
            return result
        _columns['my_char'] = fields.function(compute, type='char', size=50)

        # when called with ``ids=[1,2,3]``, ``compute`` could return:
        {
            1: 'foo',
            2: 'bar',
            3: False # null values should be returned explicitly too
        }

    If ``multi`` is set, then ``field_name`` is replaced by ``field_names``: a list
    of the field names that should be computed. Each value in the returned
    dictionary must then be a dictionary mapping field names to values.

    Here is an example where two function fields (``name`` and ``age``)
    are both computed by a single function field::

        # declarations
        def compute(self, cr, uid, ids, field_names, arg, context):
            result = {}
            # ...
            return result
        _columns['name'] = fields.function(compute_person_data, type='char',\
                                           size=50, multi='person_data')
        _columns[''age'] = fields.function(compute_person_data, type='integer',\
                                           multi='person_data')

        # when called with ``ids=[1,2,3]``, ``compute_person_data`` could return:
        {
            1: {'name': 'Bob', 'age': 23},
            2: {'name': 'Sally', 'age': 19},
            3: {'name': 'unknown', 'age': False}
        }

    .. _field-function-fnct-inv:

    .. rubric:: The ``fnct_inv`` parameter

    This callable implements the write operation for the function field
    and must have the following signature:

    .. function:: fnct_inv(model, cr, uid, id, field_name, field_value, fnct_inv_arg, context)

        Callable that implements the ``write`` operation for the function field.

        :param orm model: model to which the field belongs (should be ``self`` for
                          a model method)
        :param int id: the identifier of the object to write on
        :param str field_name: name of the field to set
        :param fnct_inv_arg: arbitrary value passed when declaring the function field
        :return: True

    When writing values for a function field, the ``multi`` parameter is ignored.

    .. _field-function-fnct-search:

    .. rubric:: The ``fnct_search`` parameter

    This callable implements the search operation for the function field
    and must have the following signature:

    .. function:: fnct_search(model, cr, uid, model_again, field_name, criterion, context)

        Callable that implements the ``search`` operation for the function field by expanding
        a search criterion based on the function field into a new domain based only on
        columns that are stored in the database.

        :param orm model: model to which the field belongs (should be ``self`` for
                          a model method)
        :param orm model_again: same value as ``model`` (seriously! this is for backwards
                                compatibility)
        :param str field_name: name of the field to search on
        :param list criterion: domain component specifying the search criterion on the field.
        :rtype: list
        :return: domain to use instead of ``criterion`` when performing the search.
                 This new domain must be based only on columns stored in the database, as it
                 will be used directly without any translation.

        The returned value must be a domain, that is, a list of the form [(field_name, operator, operand)].
        The most generic way to implement ``fnct_search`` is to directly search for the records that
        match the given ``criterion``, and return their ``ids`` wrapped in a domain, such as
        ``[('id','in',[1,3,5])]``.

    .. _field-function-store:

    .. rubric:: The ``store`` parameter

    The ``store`` parameter allows caching the result of the field computation in the
    database, and defining the triggers that will invalidate that cache and force a
    recomputation of the function field.
    When not provided, the field is computed every time its value is read.
    The value of ``store`` may be either ``True`` (to recompute the field value whenever
    any field in the same record is modified), or a dictionary specifying a more
    flexible set of recomputation triggers.

    A trigger specification is a dictionary that maps the names of the models that
    will trigger the computation, to a tuple describing the trigger rule, in the
    following form::

        store = {
            'trigger_model': (mapping_function,
                              ['trigger_field1', 'trigger_field2'],
                              priority),
        }

    A trigger rule is defined by a 3-item tuple where:

        * The ``mapping_function`` is defined as follows:

            .. function:: mapping_function(trigger_model, cr, uid, trigger_ids, context)

                Callable that maps record ids of a trigger model to ids of the
                corresponding records in the source model (whose field values
                need to be recomputed).

                :param orm model: trigger_model
                :param list trigger_ids: ids of the records of trigger_model that were
                                         modified
                :rtype: list
                :return: list of ids of the source model whose function field values
                         need to be recomputed

        * The second item is a list of the fields who should act as triggers for
          the computation. If an empty list is given, all fields will act as triggers.
        * The last item is the priority, used to order the triggers when processing them
          after any write operation on a model that has function field triggers. The
          default priority is 10.

    In fact, setting store = True is the same as using the following trigger dict::

        store = {
              'model_itself': (lambda self, cr, uid, ids, context: ids,
                               [],
                               10)
        }
