Class SlotManager

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.saxon.instruct.SlotManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class SlotManager
extends Object
implements Serializable

A SlotManager supports functions, templates, etc: specifically, any executable code that requires a stack frame containing local variables. In XSLT a SlotManager underpins any top-level element that can contain local variable declarations, specifically, a top-level xsl:template, xsl:variable, xsl:param, or xsl:function element or an xsl:attribute-set element or xsl:key element. In XQuery it underpins functions and global variables. The purpose of the SlotManager is to allocate slot numbers to variables in the stack, and to record how many slots are needed. A Debugger may define a subclass with additional functionality.
