Method Detail

getOperandRole

protected OperandRole getOperandRole()

Description copied from class: UnaryExpression

Get the usage (in terms of streamability analysis) of the single operand

Specified by:

getOperandRole in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

the operand usage

getExpressionName

public 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 explain() output displaying the expression.

getComparer

public ItemOrderComparer getComparer()

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation simplifies its operands.

Overrides:

simplify in class Expression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                  ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Description copied from class: UnaryExpression

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

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)

unordered

public Expression unordered(boolean retainAllNodes,
                   boolean forStreaming)
                     throws XPathException

Replace this expression by a simpler expression that delivers the results without regard to order.

Overrides:

unordered in class Expression

Parameters:

retainAllNodes - set to true if the result must contain exactly the same nodes as the original; set to false if the result can eliminate (or introduce) duplicates.

forStreaming - set to true if optimizing for streaming

Returns:

an expression that delivers the same nodes in a more convenient order

Throws:

XPathException - if the rewrite fails

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Description copied from class: UnaryExpression

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 UnaryExpression

Returns:

the special properties, as a bit-significant integer

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

promote

public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer,
                 Expression parent)
                   throws XPathException

Promote this expression if possible

Overrides:

promote in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

offer - details of the offer, for example the offer to move expressions that don't depend on the context to an outer level in the containing expression

parent - the containing expression in the expression tree

Returns:

if the offer is not accepted, return this expression unchanged. Otherwise return the result of rewriting the expression to promote this subexpression

Throws:

XPathException - if any error is detected

toPattern

public Pattern toPattern(Configuration config,
                boolean is30)
                  throws XPathException

Convert this expression to an equivalent XSLT pattern

Overrides:

toPattern in class Expression

Parameters:

config - the Saxon configuration

is30 - true if this is XSLT 3.0

Returns:

the equivalent pattern

Throws:

XPathException - if conversion is not possible

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

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

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

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the DocumentSorter expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler

explain

public void explain(ExpressionPresenter out)

Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.

Overrides:

explain in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

out - the expression presenter used to display the structure

getStreamingAdjunct

protected StreamingAdjunct getStreamingAdjunct()

Get a class that supports streamed evaluation of this expression

Overrides:

getStreamingAdjunct in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant StreamingAdjunct, or null if none is available
