All Implemented Interfaces:

public class LocalVariableReference
extends VariableReference

Variable reference: a reference to a local variable. This subclass of VariableReference bypasses the Binding object to get the value directly from the relevant slot in the local stackframe.

Constructor Detail

LocalVariableReference

public LocalVariableReference()

Create a local variable reference. The binding and slot number will be supplied later

LocalVariableReference

public LocalVariableReference(Binding binding)

Create a LocalVariableReference bound to a given Binding

Parameters:

binding - the binding (that is, the declaration of this local variable)

Method Detail

copy

public Expression copy()

Create a clone copy of this VariableReference

Overrides:

copy in class VariableReference

Returns:

the cloned copy

setSlotNumber

public void setSlotNumber(int slotNumber)

Set the slot number for this local variable, that is, its position in the local stack frame

Parameters:

slotNumber - the slot number to be used

getSlotNumber

public int getSlotNumber()

Get the slot number allocated to this local variable

Returns:

the slot number

evaluateVariable

public ValueRepresentation evaluateVariable(XPathContext c)
                                     throws XPathException

Return the value of the variable

Overrides:

evaluateVariable in class VariableReference

Parameters:

c - the XPath dynamic context

Returns:

the value of the variable

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs while evaluating the variable
