SimpleNodeConstructor

public SimpleNodeConstructor()

Default constructor used by subclasses

Method Detail

setSelect

public void setSelect(Expression select,
                      Configuration config)

Set the select expression: the value of this expression determines the string-value of the node

Parameters:

select - the expression that computes the string value of the node

config - the Saxon configuration (used for example to do early validation of the content of an attribute against the schema-defined type)

getContentExpression

public Expression getContentExpression()

Get the expression that determines the string value of the constructed node

Returns:

the select expression

createsNewNodes

public final boolean createsNewNodes()

Determine whether this instruction creates new nodes. This implementation returns true.

Overrides:

createsNewNodes in class Instruction

Returns:

true if the instruction creates new nodes (or if it can't be proved that it doesn't)

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Get the cardinality of the sequence returned by evaluating this instruction

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class Instruction

Returns:

the static cardinality

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Instruction

Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.

Specified by:

simplify in class Instruction

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-signficant. 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.

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class Instruction

Returns:

a set of flags indicating static properties of this expression

localTypeCheck

public abstract void localTypeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                    ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                             throws XPathException

Method to perform type-checking specific to the kind of instruction

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the static type of the context item

Throws:

XPathException - if a type error is detected

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException

The typeCheck() method is called in XQuery, where node constructors are implemented as Expressions. In this case the required type for the select expression is a single string.

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 rewritten expression

Throws:

XPathException - if any static errors are found in this expression or any of its children

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                           ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

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

Throws:

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

iterateSubExpressions

public Iterator<Expression> iterateSubExpressions()

Description copied from class: Expression

Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.

Overrides:

iterateSubExpressions in class Expression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

replaceSubExpression

public boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original,
                                    Expression replacement)

Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression

Overrides:

replaceSubExpression in class Expression

Parameters:

original - the original subexpression

replacement - the replacement subexpression

Returns:

true if the original subexpression is found

processLeavingTail

public TailCall processLeavingTail(XPathContext context)
                            throws XPathException

Process this instruction

Specified by:

processLeavingTail in interface TailCallReturner

Specified by:

processLeavingTail in class Instruction

Parameters:

context - the dynamic context of the transformation

Returns:

a TailCall to be executed by the caller, always null for this instruction

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the instruction

processValue

public abstract void processValue(CharSequence value,
                                  XPathContext context)
                           throws XPathException

Process the value of the node, to create the new node.

Parameters:

value - the string value of the new node

context - the dynamic evaluation context

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

evaluateItem

public NodeInfo evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException

Evaluate as an expression.

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Instruction

Parameters:

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

Returns:

the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

checkContent

protected String checkContent(String data,
                              XPathContext context)
                       throws XPathException

Check the content of the node, and adjust it if necessary. The checks depend on the node kind.

Parameters:

data - the supplied content

context - the dynamic context

Returns:

the original content, unless adjustments are needed

Throws:

XPathException - if the content is invalid

evaluateNodeName

public NodeName evaluateNodeName(XPathContext context)
                          throws XPathException

Run-time method to compute the name of the node being constructed. This is overridden for nodes that have a name. The default implementation returns -1, which is suitable for unnamed nodes such as comments

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

the name pool nameCode identifying the name of the constructed node

Throws:

XPathException - if any failure occurs

iterate

public SequenceIterator<NodeInfo> iterate(XPathContext context)
                                   throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Instruction

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.

Overrides:

iterate in class Instruction

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

promoteInst

protected void promoteInst(PromotionOffer offer)
                    throws XPathException

Offer promotion for subexpressions. The offer will be accepted if the subexpression is not dependent on the factors (e.g. the context item) identified in the PromotionOffer. By default the offer is not accepted - this is appropriate in the case of simple expressions such as constant values and variable references where promotion would give no performance advantage. This method is always called at compile time.

Overrides:

promoteInst in class Instruction

Parameters:

offer - details of the offer, for example the offer to move expressions that don't depend on the context to an outer level in the containing expression

Throws:

XPathException - if any error is detected
