public class PartialApply
extends Expression

This expression class implements the operation of currying (or performing partial application) of a function. That is, it takes a function and a set of argument bindings as input, and produces a new function as output.

Constructor Detail

PartialApply

public PartialApply(Expression base,
                    Expression[] boundArguments)

Create a partial function application expression

Parameters:

base - the expression that returns the function to be called

boundArguments - an array in which each element is either an expression to be bound to the corresponding argument, or null to represent a placeholder ("?" in the source syntax)

Method Detail

getBaseExpression

public Expression getBaseExpression()

setBaseExpression

public void setBaseExpression(Expression base)

getNumberOfPlaceHolders

public int getNumberOfPlaceHolders()

typeCheck

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

Description copied from class: Expression

Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.

This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.

Overrides:

typeCheck in class Expression

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)

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Description copied from class: Expression

Determine the static item type of the expression, as precisely possible. All expression return sequences, in general; this method determines the type of the items within the sequence, assuming that (a) this is known in advance, and (b) it is the same for all items in the sequence.

This method should always return a result, though it may be the best approximation that is available at the time.

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Returns:

a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)

operands

public java.lang.Iterable<Operand> operands()

Description copied from class: Expression

Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression, with information about the relationship of each expression to its parent expression. Default implementation works off the results of iterateSubExpressions()

If the expression is a Callable, then it is required that the order of the operands returned by this function is the same as the order of arguments supplied to the corresponding call() method.

Overrides:

operands in class Expression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

getNumberOfArguments

public int getNumberOfArguments()

getArgument

public Expression getArgument(int n)

getImplementationMethod

public int getImplementationMethod()

Description copied from class: Expression

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 directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.

Specified by:

getImplementationMethod in class Expression

Returns:

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

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Is this expression the same as another expression?

Overrides:

equals in class Expression

Parameters:

other - the expression to be compared with this one

Returns:

true if the two expressions are statically equivalent

computeHashCode

public int computeHashCode()

Hashcode supporting equals()

Overrides:

computeHashCode in class Expression

Returns:

a computed hash code

export

public void export(ExpressionPresenter out)
            throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

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

Specified by:

export in interface ExportAgent

Specified by:

export in class Expression

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.

computeCardinality

protected int computeCardinality()

Description copied from class: Expression

Compute the static cardinality of this expression

Specified by:

computeCardinality in class Expression

Returns:

the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE. May also return StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO if the result is known to be an empty sequence, or StaticProperty.ALLOWS_MANY if if is known to return a sequence of length two or more.

copy

public Expression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)

Description copied from class: Expression

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Parameters:

rebindings - a mutable list of (old binding, new binding) pairs that is used to update the bindings held in any local variable references that are copied.

Returns:

the copy of the original 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.

For subclasses of Expression that represent XPath expressions, the result should always be a string that parses as an XPath 3.0 expression. The expression produced should be equivalent to the original making certain assumptions about the static context. In general the expansion will make no assumptions about namespace bindings, except that (a) the prefix "xs" is used to refer to the XML Schema namespace, and (b) the default funcion namespace is assumed to be the "fn" namespace.

In the case of XSLT instructions and XQuery expressions, the toString() method gives an abstracted view of the syntax that is not designed in general to be parseable.

Overrides:

toString in class Expression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

evaluateItem

public Function evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException

Evaluate this expression at run-time

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The XPath dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

the result of the function, or null to represent an empty sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during evaluation of the function.

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 export() output displaying the expression.
