public Concat()

Method Detail

resultIfEmpty

protected Sequence resultIfEmpty(int arg)

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Ask if the function always returns a known result when one of the arguments is an empty sequence

Overrides:

resultIfEmpty in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

arg - the argument whose value is an empty sequence (counting from zero)

Returns:

the value to be returned when this argument is an empty sequence, or null if unknown / not applicable

getOperandRoles

public OperandRole[] getOperandRoles()

Get the roles of the arguments, for the purposes of streaming

Specified by:

getOperandRoles in interface Function

Overrides:

getOperandRoles in class SystemFunction

Returns:

an array of OperandRole objects, one for each argument

getFunctionItemType

public FunctionItemType getFunctionItemType()

Get the item type of the function item

Specified by:

getFunctionItemType in interface Function

Overrides:

getFunctionItemType in class SystemFunction

Returns:

the function item's type

makeOptimizedFunctionCall

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

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

Description copied from interface: Function

Invoke the function

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the actual arguments to be supplied

Returns:

the result of invoking the function

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs within the function

getRequiredType

public SequenceType getRequiredType(int arg)

Get the required type of the nth argument

Overrides:

getRequiredType in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

arg - the number of the argument whose type is requested, zero-based

Returns:

the required type of the argument as defined in the function signature

getCompilerName

public java.lang.String getCompilerName()

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Get the (local) name of a class that can be used to generate bytecode for this system function

Overrides:

getCompilerName in class SystemFunction

Returns:

the name of a bytecode generation class, or null if there is no bytecode support for this function
