Method Detail

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                       throws XPathException
preEvaluate: if all arguments are known statically, evaluate early

Overrides:
preEvaluate in class FunctionCall
Parameters:
visitor - an expression visitor
Returns:
the result of the early evaluation, or the original expression, or potentially a simplified expression
Throws:
XPathException

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException
Evaluate the expression

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

deepEquals

public static boolean deepEquals(SequenceIterator op1,
                                 SequenceIterator op2,
                                 GenericAtomicComparer collator,
                                 Configuration config,
                                 int flags)
Determine when two sequences are deep-equal

Parameters:
op1 - the first sequence
op2 - the second sequence
collator - the collator to be used
config - the configuration (gives access to the NamePool)
flags - bit-significant integer giving comparison options. Always zero for standard F+O deep-equals comparison.
Returns:
true if the sequences are deep-equal
