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 UnaryExpression

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

copy in class Expression

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

iterateSubExpressionInfo

public Iterator<SubExpressionInfo> iterateSubExpressionInfo()

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:

iterateSubExpressionInfo in class Expression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

getStreamability

public int getStreamability(int syntacticContext,
                   boolean allowExtensions,
                   List<String> reasons)

Description copied from class: Expression

Get the "sweep" of this expression as defined in the W3C streamability specifications. This provides an assessment of stylesheet code against the W3C criteria for guaranteed streamability, and is implemented to allow these criteria to be tested. It is not the case that all expression that emerge as streamable from this analysis are currently capable of being streamed by Saxon

Overrides:

getStreamability in class Expression

Parameters:

syntacticContext - one of the values Expression.NAVIGATION_CONTEXT, Expression.NODE_VALUE_CONTEXT, Expression.INHERITED_CONTEXT, Expression.INSPECTION_CONTEXT

allowExtensions - if false, the definition of "guaranteed streamability" in the W3C specification is used. If true, Saxon extensions are permitted, which make some

reasons - the caller may supply a list, in which case the implementation may add to this list a message explaining why the construct is not streamable, suitable for inclusion in an error message.

Returns:

one of the values Expression.W3C_MOTIONLESS, Expression.W3C_CONSUMING, Expression.W3C_GROUP_CONSUMING, Expression.W3C_FREE_RANGING

getStreamingAdjunct

public AtomizerAdjunct getStreamingAdjunct()

Get a class that supports streamed evaluation of this expression

Overrides:

getStreamingAdjunct in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant StreamingAdjunct, or null if none is available

iterate

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

Iterate over the sequence of values

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

evaluateItem

public AtomicValue evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Evaluate as an Item. This should only be called if the Atomizer has cardinality zero-or-one, which will only be the case if the underlying expression has cardinality zero-or-one.

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence

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

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression, if possible

Overrides:

getItemType in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER. For this class, the result is always an atomic type, but it might be more specific.

getAtomizedItemType

public static ItemType getAtomizedItemType(Expression operand,
                           boolean alwaysUntyped,
                           TypeHierarchy th)

Compute the type that will result from atomizing the result of a given expression

Parameters:

operand - the given expression

alwaysUntyped - true if it is known that nodes will always be untyped

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

the item type of the result of evaluating the operand expression, after atomization, or null if it is known that atomization will return an error

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Determine the static cardinality of the expression

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class UnaryExpression

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

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.

getAtomizingIterator

public static SequenceIterator<? extends AtomicValue> getAtomizingIterator(SequenceIterator base,
                                                           boolean untyped)
                                                                    throws XPathException

Get an iterator that returns the result of atomizing the sequence delivered by the supplied iterator

Parameters:

base - the supplied iterator, the input to atomization

untyped - this can safely be set to true if it is known that all nodes in the base sequence will be untyped; but it is always OK to set it to false.

Returns:

an iterator that returns atomic values, the result of the atomization

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic evaluation error occurs

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the Atomizer expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler

getExpressionName

public String getExpressionName()

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

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 explain() output displaying the expression.

toString

public String toString()

The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form, but there is no guarantee that the syntax will actually be true XPath. In the case of XSLT instructions, the toString() method gives an abstracted view of the syntax

Overrides:

toString in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string
