getLocationProvider

public LocationProvider getLocationProvider()

Get the LocationProvider allowing location identifiers to be resolved.

getContainerGranularity

public int getContainerGranularity()

Get the granularity of the container.

Specified by:

getContainerGranularity in interface Container

Returns:

0 for a temporary container created during parsing; 1 for a container that operates at the level of an XPath expression; 2 for a container at the level of a global function or template

setOriginalText

public void setOriginalText(String text)

Set the original text of the pattern for use in diagnostics

Parameters:

text - the original text of the pattern

simplify

public Pattern simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                 throws XPathException

Simplify the pattern by applying any context-independent optimisations. Default implementation does nothing.

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

Returns:

the optimised Pattern

Throws:

XPathException

analyze

public Pattern analyze(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
              ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType)
                throws XPathException

Type-check the pattern.

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

contextItemType - the type of the context item at the point where the pattern is defined. Set to null if it is known that the context item is undefined.

Returns:

the optimised Pattern

Throws:

XPathException

getDependencies

public int getDependencies()

Get the dependencies of the pattern. The only possible dependency for a pattern is on local variables. This is analyzed in those patterns where local variables may appear.

Returns:

the dependencies, as a bit-significant mask

iterateSubExpressions

public Iterator<Expression> iterateSubExpressions()

Iterate over the subexpressions within this pattern

Returns:

an iterator over the subexpressions. Default implementation returns an empty sequence

allocateSlots

public int allocateSlots(SlotManager slotManager,
                int nextFree)

Allocate slots to any variables used within the pattern

Parameters:

slotManager - the slot manager representing the stack frame for local variables

nextFree - the next slot that is free to be allocated

Returns:

the next slot that is free to be allocated

promote

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

Offer promotion for subexpressions within this pattern. The offer will be accepted if the subexpression is not dependent on the factors (e.g. the context item) identified in the PromotionOffer. By default the offer is not accepted - this is appropriate in the case of simple expressions such as constant values and variable references where promotion would give no performance advantage. This method is always called at compile time.

Unlike the corresponding method on Expression, this method does not return anything: it can make internal changes to the pattern, but cannot return a different pattern. Only certain kinds of promotion are applicable within a pattern: specifically, promotions affecting local variable references within the pattern.

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 -

Throws:

XPathException - if any error is detected

setSystemId

public void setSystemId(String systemId)

Set the system ID where the pattern occurred

Parameters:

systemId - the URI of the module containing the pattern

setLineNumber

public void setLineNumber(int lineNumber)

Set the line number where the pattern occurred

Parameters:

lineNumber - the line number of the pattern in the source module

isMotionless

public boolean isMotionless(boolean allowExtensions)

Test whether a pattern is motionless, that is, whether it can be evaluated against a node without repositioning the input stream. This is a necessary condition for patterns used as the match pattern of a streamed template rule.

Parameters:

allowExtensions - if false, the result is determined strictly according to the W3C "guaranteed streamability rules. If true, Saxon extensions are permitted: that is, constructs may be recognized as motionless by Saxon even if they are not recognized as motionless by the W3C rules.

Returns:

true if the pattern is motionless, that is, if it can be evaluated against a streamed node without changing the position in the streamed input file

matches

public abstract boolean matches(Item item,
              XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Determine whether this Pattern matches the given item. This is the main external interface for matching patterns: it sets current() to the node being tested

Parameters:

item - The item to be tested against the Pattern

context - The dynamic context. Only relevant if the pattern uses variables, or contains calls on functions such as document() or key().

Returns:

true if the node matches the Pattern, false otherwise

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs while matching the pattern (the caller will usually treat this the same as a false result)

matchesBeneathAnchor

public boolean matchesBeneathAnchor(NodeInfo node,
                           NodeInfo anchor,
                           XPathContext context)
                             throws XPathException

Determine whether this pattern matches a given Node within the subtree rooted at a given anchor node. This method is used when the pattern is used for streaming.

Parameters:

node - The NodeInfo representing the Element or other node to be tested against the Pattern

anchor - The anchor node, which must match any AnchorPattern subpattern

context - The dynamic context. Only relevant if the pattern uses variables, or contains calls on functions such as document() or key().

Returns:

true if the node matches the Pattern, false otherwise

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs while matching the pattern (the caller will usually treat this the same as a false result)

selectNodes

public SequenceIterator selectNodes(DocumentInfo doc,
                           XPathContext context)
                             throws XPathException

Select nodes in a document using this PatternFinder.

Specified by:

selectNodes in interface PatternFinder

Parameters:

doc - the document node at the root of a tree

context - the dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

an iterator over the selected nodes in the document.

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error is encountered

getNodeKind

public int getNodeKind()

Determine the types of nodes to which this pattern applies. Used for optimisation. For patterns that match nodes of several types, return Type.NODE. For patterns that do not match nodes, return -1.

Returns:

the type of node matched by this pattern. e.g. Type.ELEMENT or Type.TEXT

getNodeKindMask

public int getNodeKindMask()

Get a mask indicating which kinds of nodes this NodeTest can match. This is a combination of bits: 1<

Returns:

a combination of bits: 1<

getFingerprint

public int getFingerprint()

Determine the name fingerprint of nodes to which this pattern applies. Used for optimisation.

Returns:

A fingerprint that the nodes must match, or -1 if it can match multiple fingerprints, or it if matches atomic values

getItemType

public abstract ItemType getItemType()

Get an ItemType that all the items matching this pattern must satisfy

Returns:

an ItemType, as specific as possible, which all the matching items satisfy

setPriority

public void setPriority(double priority)

Set a priority to override the default priority. This is used when the pattern is written in a complex form such as a[true()] justifying a priority of 0.5, but then simplifies down to an NodeTestPattern

Parameters:

priority - the priority to be used if no explicit priority is given in the template rule

getDefaultPriority

public double getDefaultPriority()

Determine the default priority to use if this pattern appears as a match pattern for a template with no explicit priority attribute.
