    • getClauseList

      public List<Clause> getClauseList()
      Get the list of clauses of the FLWOR expression, in the order they are written. This excludes the return clause
      Returns:
      the list of clauses

    • hasVariableBinding

      public boolean hasVariableBinding(Binding binding)
      Determine whether a given variable binding belongs to this FLWOR expression
      Overrides:
      hasVariableBinding in class Expression
      Parameters:
      binding - the binding being sought
      Returns:
      true if this binding belongs to one of the clauses of this FLWOR expression

    • allowExtractingCommonSubexpressions

      public boolean allowExtractingCommonSubexpressions()
      Ask whether common subexpressions found in the operands of this expression can be extracted and evaluated outside the expression itself. The result is irrelevant in the case of operands evaluated with a different focus, which will never be extracted in this way, even if they have no focus dependency.
      Overrides:
      allowExtractingCommonSubexpressions in class Expression
      Returns:
      false for this kind of expression

    • 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 does nothing.
      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

    • typeCheck

      public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo) throws XPathException
      Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.

      This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.

      This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.

      If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.

      param visitor an expression visitor
      Overrides:
      typeCheck in class Expression
      Parameters:
      visitor - an expression visitor
      contextInfo - static information about the dynamic context
      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)

    • implementsStaticTypeCheck

      public boolean implementsStaticTypeCheck()
      Determine whether this expression implements its own method for static type checking
      Overrides:
      implementsStaticTypeCheck in class Expression
      Returns:
      true - this expression has a non-trivial implementation of the staticTypeCheck() method

    • staticTypeCheck

      public Expression staticTypeCheck(SequenceType req, boolean backwardsCompatible, Supplier<RoleDiagnostic> roleSupplier, ExpressionVisitor visitor) throws XPathException
      Static type checking for let expressions is delegated to the expression itself, and is performed on the "return" expression, to allow further delegation to the branches of a conditional
      Overrides:
      staticTypeCheck in class Expression
      Parameters:
      req - the required type
      backwardsCompatible - true if backwards compatibility mode applies
      roleSupplier - the role of the expression in relation to the required type
      visitor - an expression visitor
      Returns:
      the expression after type checking (perhaps augmented with dynamic type checking code)
      Throws:
      XPathException - if failures occur, for example if the static type of one branch of the conditional is incompatible with the required type

    • getItemType

      public ItemType getItemType()
      Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression.
      Specified by:
      getItemType in class Expression
      Returns:
      a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)

    • computeCardinality

      protected int computeCardinality()
      Compute the static cardinality of this expression
      Specified by:
      computeCardinality in class Expression
      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

    • computeDependencies

      public int computeDependencies()
      Description copied from class: Expression
      Compute the dependencies of an expression, as the union of the dependencies of its subexpressions. (This is overridden for path expressions and filter expressions, where the dependencies of a subexpression are not all propogated). This method should be called only once, to compute the dependencies; after that, getDependencies should be used.
      Overrides:
      computeDependencies in class Expression
      Returns:
      the depencies, as a bit-mask

    • operands

      public Iterable<Operand> operands()
      Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression, with information about the relationship of each expression to its parent expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.
      Overrides:
      operands in class Expression
      Returns:
      an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

    • checkForUpdatingSubexpressions

      public void checkForUpdatingSubexpressions() throws XPathException
      Check to ensure that this expression does not contain any inappropriate updating subexpressions. This check is overridden for those expressions that permit updating subexpressions.
      Overrides:
      checkForUpdatingSubexpressions in class Expression
      Throws:
      XPathException - if the expression has a non-permitted updateing subexpression

    • isUpdatingExpression

      public boolean isUpdatingExpression()
      Determine whether this is an updating expression as defined in the XQuery update specification
      Overrides:
      isUpdatingExpression in class Expression
      Returns:
      true if this is an updating 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.
      Specified by:
      getImplementationMethod in class Expression
      Returns:
      the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

    • addToPathMap

      public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap, PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)
      Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

      The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.

      Overrides:
      addToPathMap in class Expression
      Parameters:
      pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added
      pathMapNodeSet - the PathMapNodeSet to which the paths embodied in this expression should be added
      Returns:
      the pathMapNodeSet representing the points in the source document that are both reachable by this expression, and that represent possible results of this expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.

    • injectCode

      public void injectCode(CodeInjector injector)
      Inject tracing (or other monitoring) code for each clause
      Parameters:
      injector - the code injector responsible for processing each clause of the FLWOR expression

    • export

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

    • copy

      public Expression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)
      Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
      Specified by:
      copy in class Expression
      Parameters:
      rebindings - variable bindings to be replaced
      Returns:
      the copy of the original expression

    • unordered

      public Expression unordered(boolean retainAllNodes, boolean forStreaming) throws XPathException
      Replace this expression by a simpler expression that delivers the results without regard to order.
      Overrides:
      unordered in class Expression
      Parameters:
      retainAllNodes - set to true if the result must contain exactly the same nodes as the original; set to false if the result can eliminate (or introduce) duplicates.
      forStreaming - set to true if optimizing for streaming
      Returns:
      an expression that delivers the same nodes in a more convenient order
      Throws:
      XPathException - if the rewrite fails

    • getEvaluationMethod

      public int getEvaluationMethod()
      Overrides:
      getEvaluationMethod in class Expression

    • optimize

      public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType) throws XPathException
      Description copied from class: Expression
      Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

      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 Expression
      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)

    • iterate

      public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.
      Overrides:
      iterate in class Expression
      Parameters:
      context - supplies the context for evaluation
      Returns:
      a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression
      Throws:
      XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

    • process

      public void process(Outputter output, XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls
      Overrides:
      process in class Expression
      Parameters:
      output - the destination for the result
      context - The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.
      Throws:
      XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

    • 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 export() output displaying the expression.

    • toShortString

      public String toShortString()
      Produce a short string identifying the expression for use in error messages
      Overrides:
      toShortString in class Expression
      Returns:
      a short string, sufficient to identify the expression

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Display the expression as a string
      Overrides:
      toString in class Expression
      Returns:
      a representation of the expression as a string

    • hasLoopingVariableReference

      public boolean hasLoopingVariableReference(Binding binding)
      Determine whether a variable reference found within a clause of a FLWOR expression is a looping reference, that is, whether the variable is used more than once
      Parameters:
      binding - the variable binding, which may be bound in a clause of the same FLWOR expression, or in some containing expression
      Returns:
      true if a reference to the variable occurs within a loop relative to the binding, that is, if the variable's value is used more than once. Note that this method only detects a loop that is due to the clauses of this FLWOR expression itself. A loop in an inner expression or outer expression of the FLWOR expression must be detected by the caller.

    • getElaborator

      public Elaborator getElaborator()
      Make an elaborator for this expression
      Overrides:
      getElaborator in class Expression
      Returns:
      an appropriate Elaborator
