public class CompareToIntegerConstant
extends Expression
implements ComparisonExpression

This class implements a comparison of a numeric value to an integer constant using one of the operators eq, ne, lt, gt, le, ge. The semantics are identical to ValueComparison, but this is a fast path for an important common case.

Constructor Detail

CompareToIntegerConstant

public CompareToIntegerConstant(Expression operand,
                                int operator,
                                long comparand)

Method Detail

getOperand

public Expression getOperand()

Get the expression on the lhs of the comparison

getComparand

public long getComparand()

Get the integer value on the rhs of the expression

getComparisonOperator

public int getComparisonOperator()

Get the comparison operator

Returns:

one of Token.FEQ, Token.FNE, Token.FGE, Token.FGT, Token.FLE, Token.FLT,

getImplementationMethod

public int getImplementationMethod()

An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is provided directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.

Overrides:

getImplementationMethod in class Expression

simplify

public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.

Overrides:

simplify in class Expression

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

promote

public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer)
                   throws XPathException

Offer promotion for this subexpression. The offer will be accepted if the subexpression is not dependent on the factors (e.g. the context item) identified in the PromotionOffer. By default the offer is not accepted - this is appropriate in the case of simple expressions such as constant values and variable references where promotion would give no performance advantage. This method is always called at compile time.

Overrides:

promote in class Expression

Parameters:

offer - details of the offer, for example the offer to move expressions that don't depend on the context to an outer level in the containing expression

Returns:

if the offer is not accepted, return this expression unchanged. Otherwise return the result of rewriting the expression to promote this subexpression

Throws:

XPathException - if any error is detected

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class Expression

computeDependencies

public int computeDependencies()

Compute the dependencies of an expression, as the union of the dependencies of its subexpressions. (This is overridden for path expressions and filter expressions, where the dependencies of a subexpression are not all propogated). This method should be called only once, to compute the dependencies; after that, getDependencies should be used.

Overrides:

computeDependencies in class Expression

Returns:

the depencies, as a bit-mask

iterateSubExpressions

public Iterator iterateSubExpressions()

Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.

Overrides:

iterateSubExpressions in class Expression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

replaceSubExpression

public boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original,
                                    Expression replacement)

Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression

Specified by:

replaceSubExpression in interface Container

Overrides:

replaceSubExpression in class Expression

Parameters:

original - the original subexpression

replacement - the replacement subexpression

Returns:

true if the original subexpression is found

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate an expression as a single item. This always returns either a single Item or null (denoting the empty sequence). No conversion is done. This method should not be used unless the static type of the expression is a subtype of "item" or "item?": that is, it should not be called if the expression may return a sequence. There is no guarantee that this condition will be detected.

Specified by:

evaluateItem in interface EvaluableItem

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Get the effective boolean value of the expression. This returns false if the value is the empty sequence, a zero-length string, a number equal to zero, or the boolean false. Otherwise it returns true.

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the effective boolean value

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(StaticContext env,
                            ItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException

Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.

This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.

If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the parent pointer and location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.

Overrides:

typeCheck in class Expression

Parameters:

env - the static context of the expression

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations

Throws:

StaticError - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

XPathException

optimize

public Expression optimize(Optimizer opt,
                           StaticContext env,
                           ItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

Overrides:

optimize in class Expression

Parameters:

opt - the optimizer in use. This provides access to supporting functions; it also allows different optimization strategies to be used in different circumstances.

env - the static context of the expression

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution

Throws:

StaticError - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

XPathException

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the expression, if possible. All expression return sequences, in general; this method determines the type of the items within the sequence, assuming that (a) this is known in advance, and (b) it is the same for all items in the sequence.

This method should always return a result, though it may be the best approximation that is available at the time.

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Parameters:

th -

Returns:

a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)

display

public void display(int level,
                    PrintStream out,
                    Configuration config)

Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.

Specified by:

display in class Expression

Parameters:

level - indentation level for this expression

out - Output destination

config -

getAtomicComparer

public AtomicComparer getAtomicComparer()

Get the AtomicComparer used to compare atomic values. This encapsulates any collation that is used

Specified by:

getAtomicComparer in interface ComparisonExpression

getSingletonOperator

public int getSingletonOperator()

Get the primitive (singleton) operator used: one of Token.FEQ, Token.FNE, Token.FLT, Token.FGT, Token.FLE, Token.FGE

Specified by:

getSingletonOperator in interface ComparisonExpression

getOperands

public Expression[] getOperands()

Get the two operands of the comparison

Specified by:

getOperands in interface ComparisonExpression

convertsUntypedToOther

public boolean convertsUntypedToOther()

Determine whether untyped atomic values should be converted to the type of the other operand

Specified by:

convertsUntypedToOther in interface ComparisonExpression

Returns:

true if untyped values should be converted to the type of the other operand, false if they should be converted to strings.
