compileToIterator(CompilerService compiler,
Expression expression)
Generate bytecode to evaluate the BlockExpression as an iterator
Precondition: none.

void |
compileToLoop(CompilerService compiler,
Expression expression,
LoopBodyGenerator loopBody)
The compileToLoop method compiles this expression in such a way that the code generated by the supplied
loopBody argument will be executed once for each item in the result of this expression.

compileToPush(CompilerService compiler,
Expression expression)
Generate bytecode to evaluate the BlockExpression in push mode
Precondition: none.

ExpressionCompiler
Note that the compileToLoop() method must not be used where there is a need to maintain the value of position() or size(), or equivalents such as updating range variables. It is therefore generally used only for compiling aggregate functions such as count() and sum().
This has proved something of an obstacle. Attempts to compile path expressions as nested loops have failed in the case where there is a dependency on position() or last(): the current dependency mechanism doesn't always allow these cases to be detected (it only tells us when an expression uses position() or last(), not when it needs to maintain position() and last()). Hence this mode of compilation is not widely implemented (other than by the default implementation) and is currently used only when compiling sum() and count().
