Constructor Detail

InstanceOfExpression

public InstanceOfExpression(Expression source,
                    SequenceType target)

Construct an "instance of" expression in the form "source instance of target"

Parameters:

source - the expression whose type is to be tested

target - the type against which it is tested

Method Detail

getRequiredItemType

public ItemType getRequiredItemType()

Get the item type that we are testing for membership of

Returns:

the item type

getRequiredCardinality

public int getRequiredCardinality()

Get the cardinality that we are testing for membership of

Returns:

the required cardinality

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                   ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException

Type-check the expression

Overrides:

typeCheck 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

Returns:

the checked expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                  ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

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

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

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

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Is this expression the same as another expression?

Overrides:

equals in class UnaryExpression

hashCode

public int hashCode()

get HashCode for comparing two expressions. Note that this hashcode gives the same result for (A op B) and for (B op A), whether or not the operator is commutative.

Overrides:

hashCode in class UnaryExpression

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Determine the cardinality

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

copy

public Expression copy()

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the result of the InstanceOf expression

Overrides:

getItemType in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

the item type of the items in the result sequence, insofar as this is known statically.

evaluateItem

public BooleanValue evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                          throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression

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

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression as a boolean

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression

Parameters:

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

Returns:

the effective boolean value

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the InstanceOf expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler

explain

public void explain(ExpressionPresenter destination)

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

Overrides:

explain in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

destination - the expression presenter used to display the structure

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
