Class ExpressionCompiler

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    CompiledExpressionCompiler, ErrorExpressionCompiler, LiteralCompiler, ToBooleanCompiler, ToItemCompiler, ToIteratorCompiler
    public abstract class ExpressionCompiler
extends java.lang.Object
    This abstract class represents the compiler (that is, Java bytecode generator) for a particular kind of expression on the expression tree. The expression compiler is called by the CompilerService working its way down the expression tree in a top down fashion: there is a one-to-one correspondence between the classes implementing the expression on the expression tree and the compiler object used to generate Java code fragments. Various methods are supplied to compile expressions; exactly one of them is called, depending on the context in which the expression appears.

      • compileToItem

        public abstract void compileToItem​(CompilerService compiler,
                                   Expression expression)
                            throws CannotCompileException
        Generate bytecode to evaluate the expression as an Item Precondition: none. Postcondition: at execution time, the stack contains either an item (the result of the expression), or null (representing an empty sequence).
        Parameters:
        compiler - the compiler service
        expression - the expression to be compiled
        Throws:
        CannotCompileException - if the expression cannot be compiled to bytecode

      • compileToIterator

        public abstract void compileToIterator​(CompilerService compiler,
                                       Expression expression)
                                throws CannotCompileException
        Generate bytecode to evaluate the expression as a SequenceIterator Precondition: none. Postcondition: at execution time, the stack contains a SequenceIterator representing the result of the expression
        Parameters:
        compiler - the compiler service
        expression - the expression to be compiled
        Throws:
        CannotCompileException - if the expression cannot be compiled to bytecode

      • compileToBoolean

        public abstract void compileToBoolean​(CompilerService compiler,
                                      Expression expression)
                               throws CannotCompileException
        Generate bytecode to evaluate the expression as a boolean Precondition: none. Postcondition: at execution time, the stack contains an integer (0=false, 1=true) representing the result of the expression
        Parameters:
        compiler - the compiler service
        expression - the expression to be compiled
        Throws:
        CannotCompileException - if the expression cannot be compiled to bytecode

      • compileToPrimitive

        public void compileToPrimitive​(CompilerService compiler,
                               Expression expression,
                               java.lang.Class requiredClass,
                               OnEmpty onEmpty)
                        throws CannotCompileException
        Generate bytecode to evaluate the expression leaving a plain Java value on the stack. This method must only be called if the static type of the expressionis such that the value is known to be representable by a value of the specified class; the cardinality must be either exactly-one or zero-or-one.
        Parameters:
        compiler - the compiler service
        expression - the expression to be compiled
        requiredClass - the class of the Java value that is to be left on the stack if the generated code exits normally. This must be one of Integer.TYPE, Double.TYPE, Float.TYPE, BigDecimal.class, CharSequence.class.
        onEmpty - defines the action to be taken if the expression evaluates to the empty sequence. May be null if the expression is known statically not to evaluate to an empty sequence. If the return class is a primitive type (double, float, etc) this must be an instance of OnEmpty.UnwindAndJump
        Throws:
        CannotCompileException - if the expression cannot be compiled to bytecode

      • compileToPush

        public abstract void compileToPush​(CompilerService compiler,
                                   Expression expression)
                            throws CannotCompileException
        Generate bytecode to evaluate the expression in push mode Precondition: none. Postcondition: at execution time, the stack is unchanged, and the value of the expression has been written to the current receiver
        Parameters:
        compiler - the compiler service
        expression - the expression to be compiled
        Throws:
        CannotCompileException - if the expression cannot be compiled to bytecode
