public IntegratedFunctionCall(ExtensionFunctionCall function)

Method Detail

getFunction

public ExtensionFunctionCall getFunction()

Get the underlying IntegratedFunction

checkArguments

public void checkArguments(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Method called during static type checking

Specified by:

checkArguments in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

Throws:

XPathException

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException

Type-check the expression.

Overrides:

typeCheck in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

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:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                       throws XPathException

Pre-evaluate a function at compile time. Functions that do not allow pre-evaluation, or that need access to context information, can override this method.

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

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the expression, if possible. All expression return sequences, in general; this method determines the type of the items within the sequence, assuming that (a) this is known in advance, and (b) it is the same for all items in the sequence.

This method should always return a result, though it may be the best approximation that is available at the time.

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Parameters:

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)

computeCardinality

protected int computeCardinality()

Compute the static cardinality of this expression

Specified by:

computeCardinality in class Expression

Returns:

the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE

getIntrinsicDependencies

public int getIntrinsicDependencies()

Determine the intrinsic dependencies of an expression, that is, those which are not derived from the dependencies of its subexpressions. For example, position() has an intrinsic dependency on the context position, while (position()+1) does not. The default implementation of the method returns 0, indicating "no dependencies".

Overrides:

getIntrinsicDependencies in class Expression

Returns:

a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty

computeSpecialProperties

protected int computeSpecialProperties()

Compute the special properties of this expression. These properties are denoted by a bit-significant integer, possible values are in class StaticProperty. The "special" properties are properties other than cardinality and dependencies, and most of them relate to properties of node sequences, for example whether the nodes are in document order.

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class Expression

Returns:

the special properties, as a bit-significant integer

copy

public Expression copy()

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Returns:

the copy of the original 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 handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.

Specified by:

iterate in interface SequenceIterable

Overrides:

iterate in class Expression

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

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Get the effective boolean value of the expression. This returns false if the value is the empty sequence, a zero-length string, a number equal to zero, or the boolean false. Otherwise it returns true.

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the effective boolean value

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
