Class SequenceInstr

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ExportAgent, Locatable, IdentityComparable, Traceable
    public class SequenceInstr
extends UnaryExpression
    A compiled xsl:sequence instruction. Used only when strict streamability analysis is required; the instruction differs from its operand only by being marked as an instruction, which is sometimes relevant for streamability analysis. Used for xsl:sequence and also for xsl:map and xsl:map-entry; and also to wrap expressions in text value templates.

    • Constructor Detail

      • SequenceInstr

        public SequenceInstr​(Expression base)
        Create the instruction
        Parameters:
        base - the base expression

    • Method Detail

      • isInstruction

        public boolean isInstruction()
        Ask whether this expression is an instruction. In XSLT streamability analysis this is used to distinguish constructs corresponding to XSLT instructions from other constructs.
        Overrides:
        isInstruction in class Expression
        Returns:
        true if this construct originates as an XSLT instruction

      • getOperandRole

        protected OperandRole getOperandRole()
        Get the usage (in terms of streamability analysis) of the single operand
        Specified by:
        getOperandRole in class UnaryExpression
        Returns:
        the operand usage

      • typeCheck

        public Expression typeCheck​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                     throws XPathException
        Type-check the expression. Default implementation for unary operators that accept any kind of operand
        Overrides:
        typeCheck in class UnaryExpression
        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
        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 UnaryExpression
        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)

      • copy

        public Expression copy​(RebindingMap rebindings)
        Description copied from class: Expression
        Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
        Specified by:
        copy in class Expression
        Parameters:
        rebindings - a mutable list of (old binding, new binding) pairs that is used to update the bindings held in any local variable references that are copied.
        Returns:
        the copy of the original expression

      • 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

      • 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 export() output displaying the expression.

      • process

        public void process​(Outputter output,
                    XPathContext context)
             throws XPathException
        Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls
        Overrides:
        process in class Expression
        Parameters:
        output - the destination for the result
        context - The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.
        Throws:
        XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

      • 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

      • export

        public void export​(ExpressionPresenter out)
            throws XPathException
        Description copied from class: UnaryExpression
        Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.
        Specified by:
        export in interface ExportAgent
        Overrides:
        export in class UnaryExpression
        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.

      • 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
