      • 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.

        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.

        Specified by:
        operands in class Instruction
        Returns:
        an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

      • getExpressionName

        public java.lang.String getExpressionName()
        Description copied from class: Instruction
        Get a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user.
        Overrides:
        getExpressionName in class Instruction
        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.

      • computeSpecialProperties

        protected int computeSpecialProperties()
        Description copied from class: Instruction
        Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-signficant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.
        Overrides:
        computeSpecialProperties in class Instruction
        Returns:
        a set of flags indicating static properties of this expression

      • copy

        public Expression copy​(RebindingMap rebindings)
        Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
        Specified by:
        copy in class Expression
        Parameters:
        rebindings - variables to be rebound
        Returns:
        the copy of the original expression

      • getItemType

        public final ItemType getItemType()
        Determine the data type of the items returned by this expression
        Overrides:
        getItemType in class Instruction
        Returns:
        the data type

        Overrides:
        getCardinality in class Expression
        Returns:
        one of the values Cardinality.ONE_OR_MORE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_MORE, Cardinality.EXACTLY_ONE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_ONE, Cardinality.EMPTY. This default implementation returns ZERO_OR_MORE (which effectively gives no information).

      • mayCreateNewNodes

        public final boolean mayCreateNewNodes()
        Determine whether this instruction creates new nodes. This implementation returns true if any child instruction returns true.
        Overrides:
        mayCreateNewNodes in class Instruction
        Returns:
        true if the instruction creates new nodes under some input conditions (or if it can't be proved that it doesn't)

      • typeCheck

        public Expression typeCheck​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                     throws XPathException
        Description copied from class: Expression
        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.

        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)

      • optimize

        public Expression optimize​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                           ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                    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
        contextInfo - 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)

      • checkPermittedContents

        public void checkPermittedContents​(SchemaType parentType,
                                   boolean whole)
                            throws XPathException
        Check that any elements and attributes constructed or returned by this expression are acceptable in the content model of a given complex type. It's always OK to say yes, since the check will be repeated at run-time. The process of checking element and attribute constructors against the content model of a complex type also registers the type of content expected of those constructors, so the static validation can continue recursively.
        Overrides:
        checkPermittedContents in class Expression
        Parameters:
        parentType - the "given complex type": the method is checking that the nodes returned by this expression are acceptable members of the content model of this type
        whole - if true, we want to check that the value of this expression satisfies the content model as a whole; if false we want to check that the value of the expression is acceptable as one part of the content
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the value delivered by this expression cannot be part of the content model of the given type

      • 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.

      • toShortString

        public java.lang.String toShortString()
        Description copied from class: Expression
        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

      • getStreamerName

        public java.lang.String getStreamerName()
        Get the (partial) name of a class that supports streaming of this kind of expression
        Overrides:
        getStreamerName in class Expression
        Returns:
        the partial name of a class that can be instantiated to provide streaming support in Saxon-EE, or null if there is no such class
