compileToPrimitive

public void compileToPrimitive(CompilerService compiler,
                               Expression expression,
                               Class requiredClass,
                               OnEmpty onEmpty)

Description copied from class: ExpressionCompiler

Generate bytecode to evaluate the expression leaving a plain Java value on the stack. This method must only be called if the static type of the expressionis such that the value is known to be representable by a value of the specified class; the cardinality must be either exactly-one or zero-or-one.

Overrides:

compileToPrimitive in class ExpressionCompiler

Parameters:

compiler - the compiler service

expression - the expression to be compiled

requiredClass - the class of the Java value that is to be left on the stack if the generated code exits normally. This must be one of Integer.TYPE, Double.TYPE, Float.TYPE, BigDecimal.class, CharSequence.class.

onEmpty - defines the action to be taken if the expression evaluates to the empty sequence. May be null if the expression is known statically not to evaluate to an empty sequence. If the return class is a primitive type (double, float, etc) this must be an instance of OnEmpty.UnwindAndJump

compileToItem

public void compileToItem(CompilerService compiler,
                          Expression expression)
                   throws CannotCompileException

Generate bytecode to evaluate the expression as an Item Precondition: none. Postcondition: the stack contains either an item (the result of the expression), or null (representing an empty sequence).

Specified by:

compileToItem in class ExpressionCompiler

Parameters:

compiler - the compiler service

expression - the expression to be compiled

Throws:

CannotCompileException
