the subexpression that sets the context item, position, and size to each of its items in turn

getControlledExpression

public Expression getControlledExpression()

Get the subexpression that is evaluated in the new context

Specified by:

getControlledExpression in interface ContextSwitchingExpression

Returns:

the subexpression evaluated in the context set by the controlling expression

getUseExpression

public Expression getUseExpression()

Get the expression to be indexed

Returns:

the "use" expression, the expression that computes the index key for each item in the population

getSearchExpression

public Expression getSearchExpression()

Get the expression whose value we will be searching for

Returns:

the search expression

typeCheck

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

Type-check the expression

Overrides:

typeCheck in class Expression

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 expression after type-checking (potentially modified to add run-time checks and/or conversions)

Throws:

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

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                           ItemType contextItemType)

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

Overrides:

optimize in class Expression

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 if appropriate to optimize execution

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

promote

public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer,
                          Expression parent)
                   throws XPathException

Promote this expression if possible

Overrides:

promote in class Expression

Parameters:

an iterator containing those sub-expressions of this expression that are evaluated with the same focus as the parent expression

hasLoopingSubexpression

public boolean hasLoopingSubexpression(Expression child)

Given an expression that is an immediate child of this expression, test whether the evaluation of the parent expression causes the child expression to be evaluated repeatedly

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()
