makeOptimizedFunctionCall

public Expression makeOptimizedFunctionCall(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                   ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo,
                                   Expression... arguments)
                                     throws XPathException

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Allow the function to create an optimized call based on the values of the actual arguments

Overrides:

makeOptimizedFunctionCall in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

contextInfo - information about the context item

arguments - the supplied arguments to the function call. Note: modifying the contents of this array should not be attempted, it is likely to have no effect.

Returns:

either a function call on this function, or an expression that delivers the same result, or null indicating that no optimization has taken place

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is detected

call

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

Evaluate the expression

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as SequenceIterators

Returns:

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

Throws:

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

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the Exists expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class SystemFunction

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler

getStreamingAdjunct

public ExistsAdjunct getStreamingAdjunct()

Get a class that supports streamed evaluation of this expression

Overrides:

getStreamingAdjunct in class SystemFunction

Returns:

the relevant StreamingAdjunct, or null if none is available
