        protected void setOperanda​(OperandArray operanda)
        Set the data structure for the operands of this expression. This must be created during initialisation of the expression and must not be subsequently changed
        Parameters:
        operanda - the data structure for expression operands

      • getOperanda

        public OperandArray getOperanda()
        Get the data structure holding the operands of this expression.
        Returns:

      • operands

        public java.lang.Iterable<Operand> operands()
        Description copied from class: Expression
        Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression, with information about the relationship of each expression to its parent expression. Default implementation works off the results of iterateSubExpressions()

        If the expression is a Callable, then it is required that the order of the operands returned by this function is the same as the order of arguments supplied to the corresponding call() method.

        Overrides:
        operands in class Expression
        Returns:
        an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

        public Expression typeCheck​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                     throws XPathException
        Type-check the expression. This also calls preEvaluate() to evaluate the function if all the arguments are constant; functions that do not require this behavior can override the preEvaluate method.
        Overrides:
        typeCheck in class Expression
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        contextInfo - Information available statically about the context item: whether it is (possibly) absent; its static type; its streaming posture.
        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)

      • checkFunctionCall

        public void checkFunctionCall​(Function target,
                              ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                       throws XPathException

        XPathException - if there is a type error

      • optimize

        public Expression optimize​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                           ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException
        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
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

      • getNetCost

        public int getNetCost()
        Return the estimated cost of evaluating an expression. This is a very crude measure based on the syntactic form of the expression (we have no knowledge of data values). We take the cost of evaluating a simple scalar comparison or arithmetic expression as 1 (one), and we assume that a sequence has length 5. The resulting estimates may be used, for example, to reorder the predicates in a filter expression so cheaper predicates are evaluated first.
        Overrides:
        getNetCost in class Expression
        Returns:
        the intrinsic cost of this operation, excluding the costs of evaluating the operands

      • preEvaluate

        public Expression preEvaluate​(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                       throws XPathException
        Pre-evaluate a function at compile time. Functions that do not allow pre-evaluation, or that need access to context information, can override this method.
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        Returns:
        the result of the early evaluation, or the original expression, or potentially a simplified expression
        Throws:
        XPathException - if evaluation fails

      • checkArguments

        protected void checkArguments​(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                       throws XPathException
        Method supplied by each class of function to check arguments during parsing, when all the argument expressions have been read
        Parameters:
        visitor - the expression visitor
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the arguments are incorrect

      • checkArgumentCount

        protected int checkArgumentCount​(int min,
                                 int max)
                          throws XPathException
        Check number of arguments.
        A convenience routine for use in subclasses.
        Parameters:
        min - the minimum number of arguments allowed
        max - the maximum number of arguments allowed
        Returns:
        the actual number of arguments
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the number of arguments is out of range

      • getImplementationMethod

        public int getImplementationMethod()
        An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is provided directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.
        Specified by:
        getImplementationMethod in class Expression
        Returns:
        the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

      • pluralArguments

        public static java.lang.String pluralArguments​(int num)
        Utility routine used in constructing error messages: get the word "argument" or "arguments"
        Parameters:
        num - the number of arguments
        Returns:
        the singular or plural word

      • addExternalFunctionCallToPathMap

        public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addExternalFunctionCallToPathMap​(PathMap pathMap,
                                                               PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodes)
        Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

        The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.

        Parameters:
        pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added
        pathMapNodes - the node in the PathMap representing the focus at the point where this expression is called. Set to null if this expression appears at the top level, in which case the expression, if it is registered in the path map at all, must create a new path map root.
        Returns:
        the pathMapNode representing the focus established by this expression, in the case where this expression is the first operand of a path expression or filter expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.

      • getExpressionName

        public java.lang.String getExpressionName()
        Get a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user.
        Overrides:
        getExpressionName in class Expression
        Returns:
        a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user. The name will always be in the form of a lexical XML QName, and should match the name used in explain() output displaying the expression.

      • getDisplayName

        public final java.lang.String getDisplayName()
        Get the name of the function for display in messages
        Returns:
        the name of the function as a lexical QName

      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form, but there is no guarantee that the syntax will actually be true XPath. In the case of XSLT instructions, the toString() method gives an abstracted view of the syntax
        Overrides:
        toString in class Expression
        Returns:
        a representation of the expression as a string

      • toShortString

        public java.lang.String toShortString()
        Produce a short string identifying the expression for use in error messages
        Overrides:
        toShortString in class Expression
        Returns:
        a short string, sufficient to identify the expression

      • export

        public void export​(ExpressionPresenter out)
            throws XPathException
        Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.
        Specified by:
        export in interface ExportAgent
        Specified by:
        export in class Expression
        Parameters:
        out - the expression presenter used to display the structure
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the export fails, for example if an expression is found that won't work in the target environment.

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object o)
        Determine whether two expressions are equivalent
        Overrides:
        equals in class Expression
        Parameters:
        o - the other operand; the result is false if this is not an Expression
        Returns:
        true if the other operand is an expression and if it can be determined that the two expressions are equivalent, in the sense that they will always return the same result.

      • computeHashCode

        public int computeHashCode()
        Get hashCode in support of equals() method
        Overrides:
        computeHashCode in class Expression
        Returns:
        a computed hash code

      • iterate

        public SequenceIterator 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

      • adjustRequiredType

        public boolean adjustRequiredType​(JavaExternalObjectType requiredType)
                           throws XPathException
        When a call to a Java extension function appears in a context where there the required type is a Java external object (typically an xsl:variable with a declared type, or as an argument to another Java extension function), notify this required type so that the process of converting the result to an XDM value can be short-circuited.
        Parameters:
        requiredType - the required type of the result of the function, determined by the context in which the function call appears
        Returns:
        Ok if the type has been successfully adjusted
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the required return type is incompatible with the type actually returned by the Java method
