getIntegerBounds

public IntegerValue[] getIntegerBounds()

For an expression that returns an integer or a sequence of integers, get a lower and upper bound on the values of the integers that may be returned, from static analysis. The default implementation returns null, meaning "unknown" or "not applicable". Other implementations return an array of two IntegerValue objects, representing the lower and upper bounds respectively. The values UNBOUNDED_LOWER and UNBOUNDED_UPPER are used by convention to indicate that the value may be arbitrarily large. The values MAX_STRING_LENGTH and MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH are used to indicate values limited by the size of a string or the size of a sequence.

Overrides:

getIntegerBounds in class Expression

Returns:

the lower and upper bounds of integer values in the result, or null to indicate unknown or not applicable.

typeCheck

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

Description copied from class: FunctionCall

Type-check the expression. This also calls preEvaluate() to evaluate the function if all the arguments are constant; functions that do not require this behavior can override the preEvaluate method.

Overrides:

typeCheck in class FunctionCall

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)

promote

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

Promote this expression if possible

Overrides:

promote in class FunctionCall

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

isContextPossiblyUndefined

public boolean isContextPossiblyUndefined()

Ask whether the context item may possibly be undefined

Returns:

true if it might be undefined

evaluateItem

public Int64Value evaluateItem(XPathContext c)
                        throws XPathException

Evaluate in a general context

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

c - 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

getIntrinsicDependencies

public int getIntrinsicDependencies()

Determine the intrinsic dependencies

Overrides:

getIntrinsicDependencies in class Expression

Returns:

a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty

call

public IntegerValue call(XPathContext context,
                Sequence[] arguments)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as Sequences

Returns:

the result of the evaluation, in the form of a Sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the Position expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler
