Constructor Details

VennExpression

public VennExpression(Expression p1,
 int op,
 Expression p2)

Constructor

Parameters:

p1 - the left-hand operand

op - the operator (union, intersection, or difference)

p2 - the right-hand operand

Method Details

simplify

public Expression simplify()
                    throws XPathException

Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation simplifies its operands.

Overrides:

simplify in class Expression

Returns:

the simplified expression (or the original if unchanged, or if modified in-situ)

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

getExpressionName

public 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 explain() output displaying the expression.

getItemType

public final ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the items returned by this expression

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Returns:

the data type

getStaticUType

public UType getStaticUType(UType contextItemType)

Get the static type of the expression as a UType, following precisely the type inference rules defined in the XSLT 3.0 specification.

Overrides:

getStaticUType in class Expression

Parameters:

contextItemType - the static type of the context item

Returns:

the static item type of the expression according to the XSLT 3.0 defined rules

computeCardinality

protected final int computeCardinality()

Determine the static cardinality of the expression

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class BinaryExpression

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. May also return StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO if the result is known to be an empty sequence, or StaticProperty.ALLOWS_MANY if if is known to return a sequence of length two or more.

computeSpecialProperties

protected int computeSpecialProperties()

Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-signficant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class BinaryExpression

Returns:

StaticProperty.NO_NODES_NEWLY_CREATED. This is overridden for some subclasses.

gatherComponents

public void gatherComponents(int operator,
 Set<Expression> set)

Gather the component operands of a union or intersect expression

Parameters:

operator - union or intersect

set - the set into which the components are to be gathered. If the operator is union, this follows the tree gathering all operands of union expressions. Ditto, mutatis mutandis, for intersect expressions.

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
 ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                     throws XPathException

Type-check the expression

Overrides:

typeCheck in class BinaryExpression

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 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 BinaryExpression

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)

unordered

public Expression unordered(boolean retainAllNodes,
 boolean forStreaming)

Replace this expression by an expression that returns the same result but without regard to order

Overrides:

unordered in class Expression

Parameters:

retainAllNodes - true if all nodes in the result must be retained; false if duplicates can be eliminated

forStreaming - set to true if optimizing for streaming

Returns:

an expression that delivers the same nodes in a more convenient order

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 rebound

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

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.

Overrides:

getImplementationMethod in class BinaryExpression

Returns:

the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

getOperandRole

protected OperandRole getOperandRole(int arg)

Get the operand role (applies to both operands)

Overrides:

getOperandRole in class BinaryExpression

Parameters:

arg - which argument: 0 for the lhs, 1 for the rhs

Returns:

the operand role

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Is this expression the same as another expression?

Overrides:

equals in class BinaryExpression

Parameters:

other - the other operand; the result is false if this is not an Expression

Returns:

true if the other operand is an expression and if it can be determined that the two expressions are equivalent, in the sense that they will always return the same result.

computeHashCode

protected int computeHashCode()

Description copied from class: BinaryExpression

Get a 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 BinaryExpression

Returns:

a computed hash code

toPattern

public Pattern toPattern(Configuration config)
                  throws XPathException

Convert this expression to an equivalent XSLT pattern

Overrides:

toPattern in class Expression

Parameters:

config - the Saxon configuration

Returns:

the equivalent pattern

Throws:

XPathException - if conversion is not possible

tag

protected String tag()

Get the element name used to identify this expression in exported expression format

Overrides:

tag in class BinaryExpression

Returns:

the element name used to identify this expression

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext c)
                         throws XPathException

Iterate over the value of the expression. The result will always be sorted in document order, with duplicates eliminated

Overrides:

iterate in class Expression

Parameters:

c - The context for evaluation

Returns:

a SequenceIterator representing the union of the two operands

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Get the effective boolean value. In the case of a union expression, this is reduced to an OR expression, for efficiency

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

getStreamerName

public 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

getElaborator

public Elaborator getElaborator()

Make an elaborator for this expression

Overrides:

getElaborator in class Expression

Returns:

a suitable elaborator
