simplify

public Expression simplify()
                    throws XPathException

Simplify an expression

Overrides:

simplify in class Expression

Returns:

the simplified expression (or the original if unchanged, or if modified in-situ)

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

typeCheck

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

Type-check the expression

Overrides:

typeCheck in class UnaryExpression

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)

optimize

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

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

contextInfo - 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)

getImplementationMethod

public int getImplementationMethod()

An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is provided. This implementation provides both iterate() and process() methods natively.

Specified by:

getImplementationMethod in class Expression

Returns:

the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

getStreamerName

public java.lang.String getStreamerName()

Get the (partial) name of a class that supports streaming of this kind of expression

Overrides:

getStreamerName in class Expression

Returns:

the partial name of a class that can be instantiated to provide streaming support in Saxon-EE, or null if there is no such class

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.

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Iterate over the sequence of values

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

getMappingFunction

public ItemMappingFunction getMappingFunction(XPathContext context)

Get the mapping function used to implement this item check. This mapping function is applied to each item in the input sequence.

Parameters:

context - The dynamic context used to evaluate the mapping function

Returns:

the mapping function. This will be an identity mapping: the output sequence is the same as the input sequence, unless the dynamic type checking reveals an error.

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate as an Item.

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

context - 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

process

public void process(XPathContext context)
             throws XPathException

Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls

Overrides:

process in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

copy

public Expression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Parameters:

rebindings -

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression

/*@NotNull

Overrides:

getItemType in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

the item type of the items in the result sequence, insofar as this is known statically.

getStaticUType

public UType getStaticUType(UType contextItemType)

Get the static type of the expression as a UType, following precisely the type inference rules defined in the XSLT 3.0 specification.

Overrides:

getStaticUType in class Expression

Parameters:

contextItemType -

Returns:

the static item type of the expression according to the XSLT 3.0 defined rules

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Is this expression the same as another expression?

Overrides:

equals in class UnaryExpression

computeHashCode

public int computeHashCode()

get HashCode for comparing two expressions. Note that this hashcode gives the same result for (A op B) and for (B op A), whether or not the operator is commutative.

Overrides:

computeHashCode in class UnaryExpression

export

public void export(ExpressionPresenter out)
            throws XPathException

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

Specified by:

export in interface ExportAgent

Overrides:

export in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

out - the expression presenter used to display the structure

Throws:

XPathException - if the export fails, for example if an expression is found that won't work in the target environment.

getExpressionName

public java.lang.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.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form, but there is no guarantee that the syntax will actually be true XPath. In the case of XSLT instructions, the toString() method gives an abstracted view of the syntax

Overrides:

toString in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

toShortString

public java.lang.String toShortString()

Description copied from class: Expression

Produce a short string identifying the expression for use in error messages

Overrides:

toShortString in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

a short string, sufficient to identify the expression
