Constructor Detail

Choose

public Choose(Expression[] conditions,
              Expression[] actions)

Construct an xsl:choose instruction

Parameters:

conditions - the conditions to be tested, in order

actions - the actions to be taken when the corresponding condition is true

Method Detail

getInstructionNameCode

public int getInstructionNameCode()

Get the name of this instruction for diagnostic and tracing purposes We assume that if there was only one condition then it was an xsl:if; this is not necessarily so, but it's adequate for tracing purposes.

Overrides:

getInstructionNameCode in class Instruction

simplify

public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression).

Specified by:

simplify in class Instruction

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

typeCheck

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

Description copied from class: Expression

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

Description copied from class: Expression

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

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 prefered. For instructions this is the process() method.

Overrides:

getImplementationMethod in class Instruction

markTailFunctionCalls

public int markTailFunctionCalls(int nameCode,
                                 int arity)

Mark tail-recursive calls on stylesheet functions. For most expressions, this does nothing.

Overrides:

markTailFunctionCalls in class Expression

Returns:

0 if no tail call was found; 1 if a tail call on a different function was found; 2 if a tail recursive call was found and if this call accounts for the whole of the value.

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Get the item type of the items returned by evaluating this instruction

Overrides:

getItemType in class Instruction

Parameters:

th -

Returns:

the static item type of the instruction

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Compute the cardinality of the sequence returned by evaluating this instruction

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class Instruction

Returns:

the static cardinality

createsNewNodes

public final boolean createsNewNodes()

Determine whether this instruction creates new nodes. This implementation returns true if any of the "actions" creates new nodes. (Nodes created by the conditions can't contribute to the result).

Overrides:

createsNewNodes in class Instruction

iterateSubExpressions

public Iterator iterateSubExpressions()

Get all the XPath expressions associated with this instruction (in XSLT terms, the expression present on attributes of the instruction, as distinct from the child instructions in a sequence construction)

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

checkPermittedContents

public void checkPermittedContents(SchemaType parentType,
                                   StaticContext env,
                                   boolean whole)
                            throws XPathException

Check that any elements and attributes constructed or returned by this expression are acceptable in the content model of a given complex type. It's always OK to say yes, since the check will be repeated at run-time. The process of checking element and attribute constructors against the content model of a complex type also registers the type of content expected of those constructors, so the static validation can continue recursively.

Overrides:

checkPermittedContents in class Expression

Throws:

XPathException

display

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

Diagnostic print of expression structure. The expression is written to the System.err output stream

Specified by:

display in class Expression

Parameters:

level - indentation level for this expression

out -

config -

processLeavingTail

public TailCall processLeavingTail(XPathContext context)
                            throws XPathException

Process this instruction, that is, choose an xsl:when or xsl:otherwise child and process it.

Specified by:

processLeavingTail in interface TailCallReturner

Specified by:

processLeavingTail in class Instruction

Parameters:

context - the dynamic context of this transformation

Returns:

a TailCall, if the chosen branch ends with a call of call-template or apply-templates. It is the caller's responsibility to execute such a TailCall. If there is no TailCall, returns null.

Throws:

XPathException - if any non-recoverable dynamic error occurs

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 Instruction

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

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation relies on the process() method: it "pushes" the results of the instruction to a sequence in memory, and then iterates over this in-memory sequence. In principle instructions should implement a pipelined iterate() method that avoids the overhead of intermediate storage.

Specified by:

iterate in interface SequenceIterable

Overrides:

iterate in class Instruction

Parameters:

context - supplies the context for evaluation

Returns:

a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
