Interface FunctionItemType

    • Method Detail

      • getGenre

        default Genre getGenre()
        Determine the Genre (top-level classification) of this type
        Specified by:
        getGenre in interface ItemType
        Returns:
        the Genre to which this type belongs, specifically Genre.FUNCTION
      • getArgumentTypes

        SequenceType[] getArgumentTypes()
        Get the argument types of the function
        Returns:
        the argument types, as an array of SequenceTypes; or null if this is the generic function type function(*)
      • getResultType

        SequenceType getResultType()
        Get the result type of the function
        Returns:
        the result type, as a SequenceType
      • relationship

        Affinity relationship​(FunctionItemType other,
                              TypeHierarchy th)
        Determine the relationship of one function item type to another. This method is only concerned with the type signatures of the two function item types, and not with their annotation assertions.
        Parameters:
        other - the other function item type
        th - the type hierarchy cache
        Returns:
        for example Affinity.SUBSUMES, Affinity.SAME_TYPE
      • getAnnotationAssertions

        AnnotationList getAnnotationAssertions()
        Get the list of Annotation Assertions associated with this function item type
        Returns:
        the list of annotation assertions
      • makeFunctionSequenceCoercer

        Expression makeFunctionSequenceCoercer​(Expression exp,
                                               RoleDiagnostic role)
                                        throws XPathException
        Create an expression whose effect is to apply function coercion to coerce a function to this function type
        Parameters:
        exp - the expression that delivers the supplied sequence of function items (the ones in need of coercion)
        role - information for use in diagnostics
        Returns:
        the coerced function, a function that calls the original function after checking the parameters
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error is detected
      • isMapType

        boolean isMapType()
        Ask whether this function item type is a map type. In this case function coercion (to the map type) will never succeed.
        Returns:
        true if this FunctionItemType is a map type
      • isArrayType

        boolean isArrayType()
        Ask whether this function item type is an array type. In this case function coercion (to the array type) will never succeed.
        Returns:
        true if this FunctionItemType is an array type
