PEER_NODESET

public static final int PEER_NODESET
Expression property: this bit is set by getProperties() in the case of an expression that delivers a set of nodes with the guarantee that no node in the set will be an ancestor of any other. This property is useful in deciding whether the results of a path expression are pre-sorted. The property is only used in the case where the NATURALLY_SORTED property is true, so there is no point in setting it in other cases.

NON_CREATIVE

public static final int NON_CREATIVE
Expression property: this bit is set in the case of an expression that will never return newly created nodes, nor a value that depends on the identity of newly created nodes (for example generate-id(new-node())). Expressions that do create new nodes cannot be moved out of loops as this could cause too few nodes to be created: for example if f() creates a new node, then count(for $i in 1 to 5 return f()) must be 5.

public static final int SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NODESET
Expression property: this bit is set in the case of an expression that delivers a set of nodes that are all in the same document (not necessarily the same document as the context node).

NOT_UNTYPED

public static final int NOT_UNTYPED

DEPENDENCY_MASK

public static final int DEPENDENCY_MASK
