FLWORExpression

public FLWORExpression(List<Clause> clauses,
               Expression returnClause)

Method Detail

getClauseList

public List<Clause> getClauseList()

Get the list of clauses of the FLWOR expression, in the order they are written. This excludes the return clause

Returns:

the list of clauses

getReturnClause

public Expression getReturnClause()

Get the return clause of the FLWOR expression

Returns:

the expression contained in the return clause

hasVariableBinding

public boolean hasVariableBinding(Binding binding)

Determine whether a given variable binding belongs to this FLWOR expression

Overrides:

hasVariableBinding in class Expression

Parameters:

binding - the binding being sought

Returns:

true if this binding belongs to one of the clauses of this FLWOR expression

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

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

Overrides:

simplify in class Expression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

typeCheck

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

Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.

This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.

If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.

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 original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations

Throws:

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

implementsStaticTypeCheck

public boolean implementsStaticTypeCheck()

Determine whether this expression implements its own method for static type checking

Overrides:

implementsStaticTypeCheck in class Expression

Returns:

true - this expression has a non-trivial implementation of the staticTypeCheck() method

staticTypeCheck

public Expression staticTypeCheck(SequenceType req,
                         boolean backwardsCompatible,
                         RoleLocator role,
                         TypeCheckerEnvironment visitor)
                           throws XPathException

Static type checking for let expressions is delegated to the expression itself, and is performed on the "return" expression, to allow further delegation to the branches of a conditional

Overrides:

staticTypeCheck in class Expression

Parameters:

req - the required type

backwardsCompatible - true if backwards compatibility mode applies

role - the role of the expression in relation to the required type

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the expression after type checking (perhaps augmented with dynamic type checking code)

Throws:

XPathException - if failures occur, for example if the static type of one branch of the conditional is incompatible with the required type

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression.

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Parameters:

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)

computeCardinality

protected int computeCardinality()

Compute the static cardinality of this expression

Specified by:

computeCardinality in class Expression

Returns:

the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE

iterateSubExpressions

public Iterator<Expression> iterateSubExpressions()

Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression.

Overrides:

iterateSubExpressions in class Expression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

iterateSubExpressionInfo

public Iterator<SubExpressionInfo> iterateSubExpressionInfo()

Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression, with information about the relationship of each expression to its parent expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.

Overrides:

iterateSubExpressionInfo in class Expression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

checkForUpdatingSubexpressions

public void checkForUpdatingSubexpressions()
                                    throws XPathException

Check to ensure that this expression does not contain any inappropriate updating subexpressions. This check is overridden for those expressions that permit updating subexpressions.

Overrides:

checkForUpdatingSubexpressions in class Expression

Throws:

XPathException - if the expression has a non-permitted updateing subexpression

isUpdatingExpression

public boolean isUpdatingExpression()

Determine whether this is an updating expression as defined in the XQuery update specification

if the offer is not accepted, return this expression unchanged. Otherwise return the result of rewriting the expression to promote this subexpression

Throws:

XPathException - if any error is detected

public int getEvaluationMethod()

Overrides:

getEvaluationMethod in class Expression

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)

iterate

public SequenceIterator<? extends Item> iterate(XPathContext context)
                                         throws XPathException

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 Expression

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

process

public void process(XPathContext context)
             throws XPathException

Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls

Overrides:

process in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

evaluatePendingUpdates

public void evaluatePendingUpdates(XPathContext context,
                          PendingUpdateList pul)
                            throws XPathException

Evaluate an updating expression, adding the results to a Pending Update List. The default implementation of this method, which is used for non-updating expressions, throws an UnsupportedOperationException

Overrides:

evaluatePendingUpdates in class Expression

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

pul - the pending update list to which the results should be written

Throws:

XPathException - if evaluation fails

UnsupportedOperationException - if the expression is not an updating expression

toString

public String toString()

Display the expression as a string

Overrides:

toString in class Expression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

hasLoopingVariableReference

public boolean hasLoopingVariableReference(Binding binding)

Determine whether a variable reference found within a clause of a FLWOR expression is a looping reference, that is, whether the variable is used more than once

Parameters:

binding - the variable binding, which may be bound in a clause of the same FLWOR expression, or in some containing expression

Returns:

true if a reference to the variable occurs within a loop relative to the binding, that is, if the variable's value is used more than once. Note that this method only detects a loop that is due to the clauses of this FLWOR expression itself. A loop in an inner expression or outer expression of the FLWOR expression must be detected by the caller.

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the FLWOR expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler
