Method Detail

setPositionVariable

public void setPositionVariable(RangeVariableDeclaration decl)

Set the reference to the position variable (XQuery only)

getPositionVariableNameCode

public int getPositionVariableNameCode()

setAction

public void setAction(Expression action)

Description copied from class: Assignation

Add the "return" or "satisfies" expression, and fix up all references to the range variable that occur within that expression

Overrides:

setAction in class Assignation

Parameters:

action - the expression that occurs after the "return" keyword of a "for" expression, the "satisfies" keyword of "some/every", or the ":=" operator of a "let" expression.

This method must be called after calling setVariableDeclaration()

setSlotNumber

public void setSlotNumber(int nr)

Set the slot number for the range variable

Overrides:

setSlotNumber in class Assignation

getRequiredSlots

public int getRequiredSlots()

Get the number of slots required. Normally 1, except for a FOR expression with an AT clause, where it is 2.

Overrides:

getRequiredSlots in class Assignation

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(StaticContext env,
                            ItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException

Type-check the expression

Parameters:

env - the static context of the expression

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

optimize

public Expression optimize(Optimizer opt,
                           StaticContext env,
                           ItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Optimize the expression

Parameters:

opt - the optimizer in use. This provides access to supporting functions; it also allows different optimization strategies to be used in different circumstances.

env - the static context of the expression

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

convertWhereToPredicate

public Expression convertWhereToPredicate(Optimizer opt,
                                          StaticContext env,
                                          ItemType contextItemType)
                                   throws XPathException

Convert where clause, if possible, to a predicate. Returns the converted expression if modified, or null otherwise

Throws:

XPathException

markTailFunctionCalls

public boolean markTailFunctionCalls()

Mark tail function calls: only possible if the for expression iterates zero or one times. (This arises in XSLT/XPath, which does not have a LET expression, so FOR gets used instead)

Overrides:

markTailFunctionCalls in class ComputedExpression

Returns:

true if a tail recursive call was found and if this call accounts for the whole of the value.

extendBindingList

protected Binding[] extendBindingList(Binding[] in)

Extend an array of variable bindings to include the binding(s) defined in this expression

Overrides:

extendBindingList in class Assignation

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. This implementation provides both iterate() and process() methods natively.

Specified by:

getImplementationMethod in interface Expression

Overrides:

getImplementationMethod in class ComputedExpression

checkPermittedContents

public void checkPermittedContents(SchemaType parentType,
                                   StaticContext env,
                                   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.

Specified by:

checkPermittedContents in interface Expression

Overrides:

checkPermittedContents in class ComputedExpression

Throws:

XPathException

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Iterate over the sequence of values

Specified by:

iterate in interface Expression

Overrides:

iterate in class ComputedExpression

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 this expression as an instruction, writing results to the current outputter

Specified by:

process in interface Expression

Overrides:

process in class ComputedExpression

Parameters:

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

Throws:

XPathException

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression, if possible

Parameters:

th -

Returns:

one of the values Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known in advance)

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Determine the static cardinality of the expression

Specified by:

computeCardinality in class ComputedExpression

display

public void display(int level,
                    NamePool pool,
                    java.io.PrintStream out)

Diagnostic print of expression structure

Parameters:

level - indentation level for this expression

pool - NamePool used to expand any names appearing in the expression

out - Output destination

getConstructType

protected int getConstructType()

Get the type of this expression for use in tracing and diagnostics

Overrides:

getConstructType in class ComputedExpression

Returns:

the type of expression, as enumerated in class Location
