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

getStreamability

public int getStreamability(int syntacticContext,
                   boolean allowExtensions,
                   List<String> reasons)

Get the "sweep" of this expression as defined in the W3C streamability specifications. This provides an assessment of stylesheet code against the W3C criteria for guaranteed streamability, and is implemented to allow these criteria to be tested. It is not the case that all expression that emerge as streamable from this analysis are currently capable of being streamed by Saxon

Overrides:

getStreamability in class Expression

Parameters:

syntacticContext - one of the values Expression.NAVIGATION_CONTEXT, Expression.NODE_VALUE_CONTEXT, Expression.INHERITED_CONTEXT, Expression.INSPECTION_CONTEXT

allowExtensions - if false, the definition of "guaranteed streamability" in the W3C specification is used. If true, Saxon extensions are permitted, which make some

reasons - the caller may supply a list, in which case the implementation may add to this list a message explaining why the construct is not streamable, suitable for inclusion in an error message.

Returns:

one of the values Expression.W3C_MOTIONLESS, Expression.W3C_CONSUMING, Expression.W3C_GROUP_CONSUMING, Expression.W3C_FREE_RANGING

getStreamingAdjunct

Overrides:

toStreamingPattern in class Expression

Parameters:

config - the Saxon configuration

reasonForFailure - a list which will be populated with messages giving reasons why the expression cannot be converted

Returns:

the equivalent pattern if conversion succeeds; otherwise null

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Expression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

explain

public void explain(ExpressionPresenter out)

Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.

Specified by:
