Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
AtomicValue	evaluate(Item arg, XPathContext context)	Abstract method that must be supplied in subclasses to perform the evaluation
java.lang.String	getCompilerName()	Get the (local) name of a class that can be used to generate bytecode for this system function
java.lang.String	getStreamerName()	Get a name that identifies the class that can be used to evaluate this function in streaming mode, that is, supplying one item or event at a time as it is delivered by the parser.
Expression	makeOptimizedFunctionCall(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo, Expression... arguments)	Allow the function to create an optimized call based on the values of the actual arguments
Sequence	resultWhenEmpty()	Method that may be supplied in subclasses, to indicate the result that is returned when an empty sequence is supplied as the argument value.

Method Detail

evaluate

public AtomicValue evaluate(Item arg,
                            XPathContext context)
                     throws XPathException

Description copied from class: ScalarSystemFunction

Abstract method that must be supplied in subclasses to perform the evaluation

Specified by:

evaluate in class ScalarSystemFunction

Parameters:

arg - the supplied argument

context - the dynamic context

Returns:

the result of the evaluation

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

resultWhenEmpty

public Sequence resultWhenEmpty()

Description copied from class: ScalarSystemFunction

Method that may be supplied in subclasses, to indicate the result that is returned when an empty sequence is supplied as the argument value. The default is to return the empty sequence

Overrides:

resultWhenEmpty in class ScalarSystemFunction

Returns:

the result of evaluation when the supplied argument is an empty sequence

makeOptimizedFunctionCall

public Expression makeOptimizedFunctionCall(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                            ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo,
                                            Expression... arguments)
                                     throws XPathException

Allow the function to create an optimized call based on the values of the actual arguments

Overrides:

makeOptimizedFunctionCall in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

contextInfo - information about the context item

arguments - the supplied arguments to the function call

Returns:

either a function call on this function, or an expression that delivers the same result, or null indicating that no optimization has taken place

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is detected

getCompilerName

public java.lang.String getCompilerName()

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Get the (local) name of a class that can be used to generate bytecode for this system function

Overrides:

getCompilerName in class SystemFunction

Returns:

the name of a bytecode generation class, or null if there is no bytecode support for this function

getStreamerName

public java.lang.String getStreamerName()

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Get a name that identifies the class that can be used to evaluate this function in streaming mode, that is, supplying one item or event at a time as it is delivered by the parser. Special streaming support is generally available in Saxon-EE for all system functions that take a sequence as their argument.

Overrides:

getStreamerName in class SystemFunction

Returns:

a name that identifies a class that supports streamed evaluation of this system function, or null if no such class is available. The mapping of names to classes is defined in the Saxon-EE class StreamerMap. In non-streaming Saxon editions (HE and PE) the method always returns null.
