void	compileToIterator(CompilerService compiler, Expression expression) Generate bytecode to evaluate the expression as a SequenceIterator Precondition: none.
void	compileToLoop(CompilerService compiler, Expression expression, LoopBodyGenerator loopBody) The compileToLoop method compiles this expression in such a way that the code generated by the supplied loopBody argument will be executed once for each item in the result of this expression.

Method Detail

compileToIterator

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

Description copied from class: ExpressionCompiler

Generate bytecode to evaluate the expression as a SequenceIterator Precondition: none. Postcondition: at execution time, the stack contains a SequenceIterator representing the result of the expression

Specified by:

compileToIterator in class ExpressionCompiler

Parameters:

compiler - the compiler service

expression - the expression to be compiled

Throws:

CannotCompileException

compileToLoop

public void compileToLoop(CompilerService compiler,
                 Expression expression,
                 LoopBodyGenerator loopBody)
                   throws CannotCompileException

The compileToLoop method compiles this expression in such a way that the code generated by the supplied loopBody argument will be executed once for each item in the result of this expression. The code generated by the loopBody expects to find this item on the top of the bytecode stack.

Overrides:

compileToLoop in class ExpressionCompiler

Parameters:

compiler - the compiler service

expression - the expression to be compiled

loopBody - a generator which produces code to be executed once for every item in the result of this expression, with that item being on the top of the bytecode stack.

Throws:

CannotCompileException
