All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, SourceLocator, LocationProvider, SaxonLocator, ContextSwitchingExpression, InstructionInfo, Locator

public final class IndexedFilterExpression
extends Expression
implements ContextSwitchingExpression

Method Detail

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Specified by:
getItemType in class Expression
Parameters:
th - the type hierarchy cache
Returns:
an integer representing the data type

getBaseExpression

public VariableReference getBaseExpression()
Get the underlying expression

Returns:
the expression being filtered

getFilter

public ComparisonExpression getFilter()
Get the filter expression

Returns:
the expression acting as the filter predicate

getControllingExpression

public Expression getControllingExpression()

Specified by:
getControllingExpression in interface ContextSwitchingExpression
Returns:
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,
                            ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType 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,
                           ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType 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

Returns:
true if the original subexpression is found

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Returns:
the cardinality. The method attempts to determine the case where the filter predicate is guaranteed to select at most one item from the sequence being filtered

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()
Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-significant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.
