Set the required type (declared type) of the variable

Parameters:

requiredType - the required type

public void setVariableQName(StructuredQName variableName)

Set the name of the variable

Parameters:

variableName - the name of the variable

Specified by:

getVariableQName in interface Binding

Returns:

the variable name, as a QName

getRequiredType

public SequenceType getRequiredType()

Get the declared type of the variable

Specified by:

getRequiredType in interface Binding

Returns:

the declared type

getLocalSlotNumber

public int getLocalSlotNumber()

If this is a local variable held on the local stack frame, return the corresponding slot number. In other cases, return -1.

Specified by:

getLocalSlotNumber in interface Binding

Returns:

the slot number on the local stack frame

evaluateVariable

public ValueRepresentation evaluateVariable(XPathContext context)
                                     throws XPathException

Get the value of the range variable

Specified by:

evaluateVariable in interface Binding

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

the result of evaluating the variable

Throws:

XPathException

setAction

public void setAction(Expression action)

Add the "return" or "satisfies" expression, and fix up all references to the range variable that occur within that expression

Parameters:

action - the expression that occurs after the "return" keyword of a "for" expression, the "satisfies" keyword of "some/every", or the ":=" operator of a "let" expression.

isGlobal

public final boolean isGlobal()

Indicate whether the binding is local or global. A global binding is one that has a fixed value for the life of a query or transformation; any other binding is local.

Specified by:

isGlobal in interface Binding

Returns:

true if the binding is global

isAssignable

public final boolean isAssignable()

Test whether it is permitted to assign to the variable using the saxon:assign extension element. This will only be for an XSLT global variable where the extra attribute saxon:assignable="yes" is present.

Specified by:

isAssignable in interface Binding

Returns:

true if the binding is assignable

getAction

public Expression getAction()

Get the action expression

Returns:

the action expression (introduced by "return" or "satisfies")

setSequence

public void setSequence(Expression sequence)

Set the "sequence" expression - the one to which the variable is bound

Parameters:

sequence - the expression to which the variable is bound

getSequence

public Expression getSequence()

Get the "sequence" expression - the one to which the variable is bound

Returns:

the expression to which the variable is bound

setSlotNumber

public void setSlotNumber(int nr)

Set the slot number for the range variable

Parameters:

nr - the slot number to be used

getRequiredSlots

public int getRequiredSlots()

Get the number of slots required. Normally 1, except for a FOR expression with an AT clause, where it is 2.

Returns:

the number of slots required

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify the expression

Overrides:

simplify in class Expression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

promote

public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer)
                   throws XPathException

Promote this expression if possible

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

suppressValidation

public void suppressValidation(int validationMode)

Suppress validation on contained element constructors, on the grounds that the parent element is already performing validation. The default implementation does nothing.

Overrides:

suppressValidation in class Expression

Parameters:

validationMode - the kind of validation being performed on the parent expression

iterateSubExpressions

public Iterator iterateSubExpressions()

Get the immediate subexpressions of this expression

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

Overrides:

replaceSubExpression in class Expression

Parameters:

original - the original subexpression

replacement - the replacement subexpression

Returns:

true if the original subexpression is found

addToPathMap

public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap,
                                           PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)

Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.

Overrides:

addToPathMap in class Expression

Parameters:

pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added

pathMapNodeSet - the PathMapNodeSet to which the paths embodied in this expression should be added

Returns:

the pathMapNodeSet representing the points in the source document that are both reachable by this expression, and that represent possible results of this expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.

getVariableName

public String getVariableName()

Get the display name of the range variable, for diagnostics only

Returns:

the lexical QName of the range variable

refineTypeInformation

public void refineTypeInformation(ItemType type,
                                  int cardinality,
                                  Value constantValue,
                                  int properties,
                                  ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                  Assignation currentExpression)

Refine the type information associated with this variable declaration. This is useful when the type of the variable has not been explicitly declared (which is common); the variable then takes a static type based on the type of the expression to which it is bound. The effect of this call is to update the static expression type for all references to this variable.

Parameters:

type - the inferred item type of the expression to which the variable is bound

cardinality - the inferred cardinality of the expression to which the variable is bound

constantValue - the constant value to which the variable is bound (null if there is no constant value)

properties - other static properties of the expression to which the variable is bound

visitor - an expression visitor to provide context information

currentExpression - the expression that binds the variable
