All Implemented Interfaces:

public class EquivalenceComparison
extends BinaryExpression
implements ComparisonExpression

Class to handle equivalence comparisons of singletons. This only handles equality comparison. It follows the rules used for grouping and for XQuery 3.0 switch expressions: - each operand must be zero or one atomic values - untypedAtomic is treated as string - non-comparable values are not equal (no type errors) - two empty sequences are equal to each other - two NaN values are equal to each other

Constructor Detail

EquivalenceComparison

public EquivalenceComparison(Expression p1,
                             int operator,
                             Expression p2)

Create a singleton comparison - that is, a comparison between two singleton (0:1) sequences using the general comparison semantics

Parameters:

p1 - the first operand

operator - the operator

p2 - the second operand

Method Detail

typeCheck

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

Type-check the expression. Default implementation for binary operators that accept any kind of operand

Overrides:

typeCheck in class BinaryExpression

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)

getAtomicComparer

public AtomicComparer getAtomicComparer()

Description copied from interface: ComparisonExpression

Get the AtomicComparer used to compare atomic values. This encapsulates any collation that is used

Specified by:

getAtomicComparer in interface ComparisonExpression

getSingletonOperator

public int getSingletonOperator()

Description copied from interface: ComparisonExpression

Get the primitive (singleton) operator used: one of Token.FEQ, Token.FNE, Token.FLT, Token.FGT, Token.FLE, Token.FGE

Specified by:

getSingletonOperator in interface ComparisonExpression

convertsUntypedToOther

public boolean convertsUntypedToOther()

Determine whether untyped atomic values should be converted to the type of the other operand

Specified by:

convertsUntypedToOther in interface ComparisonExpression

Returns:

true if untyped values should be converted to the type of the other operand, false if they should be converted to strings.

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Determine the static cardinality. Returns [1..1]

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class BinaryExpression

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.

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the expression

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Returns:

Type.BOOLEAN

isKnownToBeComparable

public boolean isKnownToBeComparable()

getComparer

public AtomicComparer getComparer()

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

evaluateItem

public BooleanValue evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                          throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression in a given context

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

context - the given context for evaluation

Returns:

a BooleanValue representing the result of the numeric comparison of the two operands

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression in a boolean context

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression

Parameters:

context - the given context for evaluation

Returns:

a boolean representing the result of the numeric comparison of the two operands

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

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.

explainExtraAttributes

protected void explainExtraAttributes(ExpressionPresenter out)

Description copied from class: BinaryExpression

Add subclass-specific attributes to the expression tree explanation. Default implementation does nothing; this is provided for subclasses to override.

Overrides:

explainExtraAttributes in class BinaryExpression

Parameters:

out - the output destination for the displayed expression tree
