Class SubscriptExpression

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ExportAgent, Locatable, IdentityComparable, Traceable

    public class SubscriptExpression
    extends SingleItemFilter
    A SubscriptExpression represents a FilterExpression of the form EXPR[n] where n is known to be singleton numeric and to be independent of the focus; it does not need to be constant

      • typeCheck

        public Expression typeCheck​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,

        typeCheck in class UnaryExpression
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        contextInfo - Information available statically about the context item: whether it is (possibly) absent; its static type; its streaming posture.
        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)
      • optimize

        public Expression optimize​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                   ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                            throws XPathException
        Description copied from class: SingleItemFilter
        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 SingleItemFilter
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expresion visitor
        contextInfo - 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)
      • copy

        public Expression copy​(RebindingMap rebindings)
        Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
        Specified by:
        copy in class Expression
        Parameters:
        rebindings - variables that need to be re-bound
        Returns:
        the copy of the original expression
      • operands

        public java.lang.Iterable<Operand> operands()
        Description copied from class: Expression
        Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression, with information about the relationship of each expression to its parent expression. Default implementation works off the results of iterateSubExpressions()

        If the expression is a Callable, then it is required that the order of the operands returned by this function is the same as the order of arguments supplied to the corresponding call() method.

        Overrides:
        operands in class UnaryExpression
        Returns:
        an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression
      • getSubscriptExpression

        public Expression getSubscriptExpression()
        Get the subscript expression
        Returns:
        the expression used to compute the one-based start offset
      • 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
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object other)
        Compare two expressions to see if they are equal
        Overrides:
        equals in class UnaryExpression
        Parameters:
        other - the other expression
        Returns:
        true if the expressions are equivalent
      • computeHashCode

        public int computeHashCode()
        Description copied from class: UnaryExpression
        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:
        computeHashCode in class UnaryExpression
        Returns:
        a computed hash code
      • getStreamerName

        public java.lang.String getStreamerName()
        Get the (partial) name of a class that supports streaming of this kind of expression
        Overrides:
        getStreamerName in class Expression
        Returns:
        the partial name of a class that can be instantiated to provide streaming support in Saxon-EE, or null if there is no such class
      • evaluateItem

        public Item evaluateItem​(XPathContext context)
                          throws XPathException
        Description copied from class: Expression
        Evaluate an expression as a single item. This always returns either a single Item or null (denoting the empty sequence). No conversion is done. This method should not be used unless the static type of the expression is a subtype of "item" or "item?": that is, it should not be called if the expression may return a sequence. There is no guarantee that this condition will be detected.
        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
      • 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.
      • export

        public void export​(ExpressionPresenter destination)
                    throws XPathException
        Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.
        Specified by:
        export in interface ExportAgent
        Overrides:
        export in class UnaryExpression
        Parameters:
        destination - 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.
      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()

        The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form.

        For subclasses of Expression that represent XPath expressions, the result should always be a string that parses as an XPath 3.0 expression.

        Overrides:
        toString in class UnaryExpression
        Returns:
        a representation of the expression as a string
      • toShortString

        public java.lang.String toShortString()

        The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form.

        For subclasses of Expression that represent XPath expressions, the result should always be a string that parses as an XPath 3.0 expression.

        Overrides:
        toShortString in class UnaryExpression
        Returns:
        a representation of the expression as a string
