Method Detail

init

public void init(java.util.List<Clause> clauses,
                 Expression returnClause)

getClauseList

public java.util.List<Clause> getClauseList()

Get the list of clauses of the FLWOR expression, in the order they are written. This excludes the return clause

Returns:

the list of clauses

isLoopingClause

public static boolean isLoopingClause(Clause c)

getReturnClause

public Expression getReturnClause()

Get the return clause of the FLWOR expression

Returns:

the expression contained in the return clause

hasVariableBinding

public boolean hasVariableBinding(Binding binding)

Determine whether a given variable binding belongs to this FLWOR expression

Overrides:

hasVariableBinding in class Expression

Parameters:

binding - the binding being sought

Returns:

true if this binding belongs to one of the clauses of this FLWOR expression

allowExtractingCommonSubexpressions

public boolean allowExtractingCommonSubexpressions()

Ask whether common subexpressions found in the operands of this expression can be extracted and evaluated outside the expression itself. The result is irrelevant in the case of operands evaluated with a different focus, which will never be extracted in this way, even if they have no focus dependency.

Overrides:

allowExtractingCommonSubexpressions in class Expression

Returns:

false for this kind of expression

simplify

public Expression simplify()
                    throws XPathException

Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.

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

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.

If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.

param visitor an expression visitor

Overrides:

typeCheck in class Expression

Parameters:

contextInfo - static information about the dynamic context

visitor - an expression visitor

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)

implementsStaticTypeCheck

public boolean implementsStaticTypeCheck()

Determine whether this expression implements its own method for static type checking

Overrides:

implementsStaticTypeCheck in class Expression

Returns:

true - this expression has a non-trivial implementation of the staticTypeCheck() method

staticTypeCheck

public Expression staticTypeCheck(SequenceType req,
                                  boolean backwardsCompatible,
                                  RoleDiagnostic role,
                                  ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                           throws XPathException

Static type checking for let expressions is delegated to the expression itself, and is performed on the "return" expression, to allow further delegation to the branches of a conditional

Overrides:

staticTypeCheck in class Expression

Parameters:

req - the required type

backwardsCompatible - true if backwards compatibility mode applies

role - the role of the expression in relation to the required type

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the expression after type checking (perhaps augmented with dynamic type checking code)

Throws:

XPathException - if failures occur, for example if the static type of one branch of the conditional is incompatible with the required type

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression.

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)

computeCardinality

protected int computeCardinality()

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

operands

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

Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression, with information about the relationship of each expression to its parent expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.

Overrides:

operands in class Expression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

checkForUpdatingSubexpressions

public void checkForUpdatingSubexpressions()
                                    throws XPathException

Check to ensure that this expression does not contain any inappropriate updating subexpressions. This check is overridden for those expressions that permit updating subexpressions.

Overrides:

checkForUpdatingSubexpressions in class Expression

Throws:

XPathException - if the expression has a non-permitted updateing subexpression

isUpdatingExpression

public boolean isUpdatingExpression()

Determine whether this is an updating expression as defined in the XQuery update specification

Overrides:

isUpdatingExpression in class Expression

Returns:

true if this is an updating expression

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 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

addToPathMap

public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap,
                                           PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)

Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.

Overrides:

addToPathMap in class Expression

Parameters:

pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added

pathMapNodeSet - the PathMapNodeSet to which the paths embodied in this expression should be added

Returns:

the pathMapNodeSet representing the points in the source document that are both reachable by this expression, and that represent possible results of this expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.

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

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.

copy

public Expression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Parameters:

rebindings - variable bindings to be replaced

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

unordered

public Expression unordered(boolean retainAllNodes,
                            boolean forStreaming)
                     throws XPathException

Replace this expression by a simpler expression that delivers the results without regard to order.

Overrides:

unordered in class Expression

Parameters:

retainAllNodes - set to true if the result must contain exactly the same nodes as the original; set to false if the result can eliminate (or introduce) duplicates.

forStreaming - set to true if optimizing for streaming

Returns:

an expression that delivers the same nodes in a more convenient order

Throws:

XPathException - if the rewrite fails

getEvaluationMethod

public int getEvaluationMethod()

Overrides:

getEvaluationMethod in class Expression

optimize

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

Description copied from class: Expression

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

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 Expression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - 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)

iterate

public SequenceIterator<?> iterate(XPathContext context)
                            throws XPathException

Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.

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

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

evaluatePendingUpdates

public void evaluatePendingUpdates(XPathContext context,
                                   PendingUpdateList pul)
                            throws XPathException

Evaluate an updating expression, adding the results to a Pending Update List. The default implementation of this method, which is used for non-updating expressions, throws an UnsupportedOperationException

Overrides:

evaluatePendingUpdates in class Expression

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

pul - the pending update list to which the results should be written

Throws:

XPathException - if evaluation fails

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if the expression is not an updating 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.

toShortString

public java.lang.String toShortString()

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

Overrides:

toShortString in class Expression

Returns:

a short string, sufficient to identify the expression

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Display the expression as a string

Overrides:

toString in class Expression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

hasLoopingVariableReference

public boolean hasLoopingVariableReference(Binding binding)

Determine whether a variable reference found within a clause of a FLWOR expression is a looping reference, that is, whether the variable is used more than once

Parameters:

binding - the variable binding, which may be bound in a clause of the same FLWOR expression, or in some containing expression

Returns:

true if a reference to the variable occurs within a loop relative to the binding, that is, if the variable's value is used more than once. Note that this method only detects a loop that is due to the clauses of this FLWOR expression itself. A loop in an inner expression or outer expression of the FLWOR expression must be detected by the caller.
