Constructor Detail

IdentityComparison

public IdentityComparison(Expression p1,
                  int op,
                  Expression p2)

Create an identity comparison identifying the two operands and the operator

Parameters:

p1 - the left-hand operand

op - the operator, as a token returned by the Tokenizer (e.g. Token.LT)

p2 - the right-hand operand

Method Detail

setGenerateIdEmulation

public void setGenerateIdEmulation(boolean flag)

Set flag to indicate different empty-sequence behavior when emulating comparison of two generate-id's. This is relevant when operands evaluate to an empty sequence; if both are empty, the "is" operator returns (), while the generate-id() comparison compares two empty strings, which returns true; if one is empty, the "is" operator returns (), while the generate-id() comparison returns false.

Parameters:

flag - true if this function is being used to compare generate-id() output

isGenerateIdEmulation

public boolean isGenerateIdEmulation()

Test the flag that indicates different empty-sequence behavior when emulating comparison of two generate-id's

Returns:

true if this function is being used to compare generate-id() output

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                   ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                     throws XPathException

Type-check the expression

Overrides:

typeCheck in class BinaryExpression

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 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 BinaryExpression

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)

operands

public Iterable<Operand> operands()

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()

Overrides:

operands in class BinaryExpression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

copy

public Expression copy()

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

evaluateItem

public BooleanValue evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                          throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Get the effective boolean value of the expression. This returns false if the value is the empty sequence, a zero-length string, a number equal to zero, or the boolean false. Otherwise it returns true.

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the effective boolean value

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the expression

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Returns:

Type.BOOLEAN

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the IdentityComparison expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler
