public final class GeneralNodePattern
extends Pattern

A GeneralNodePattern represents a pattern which, because of the presence of positional predicates or otherwise, can only be evaluated "the hard way", by evaluating the equivalent expression with successive ancestors of the tested node as context item.

Constructor Details

GeneralNodePattern

public GeneralNodePattern(Expression expr,
 NodeTest itemType)

Create a GeneralNodePattern

Parameters:

expr - the "equivalent expression"

itemType - a type that all matched nodes must satisfy

Method Details

makeTopNodeEquivalent

public void makeTopNodeEquivalent()

A pattern whose first step uses the child axis is treated as using the child-or-top axis, which selects a node that is either (a) a child, or (b) a parentless element, comment, text node, or PI. We handle this by creating a variant of the equivalent expression that uses the self axis instead of child, and using this variant if matching a tree that satisfies the other conditions.

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 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 Expression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

isMotionless

public boolean isMotionless()

Test whether a pattern is motionless, that is, whether it can be evaluated against a node without repositioning the input stream. This is a necessary condition for patterns used as the match pattern of a streamed template rule.

Overrides:

isMotionless in class Pattern

Returns:

true if the pattern is motionless, that is, if it can be evaluated against a streamed node without changing the position in the streamed input file

typeCheck

public Pattern typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
 ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType)
                  throws XPathException

Type-check the pattern, performing any type-dependent optimizations.

Overrides:

typeCheck in class Pattern

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the type of the context item at the point where the pattern appears

Returns:

the optimised Pattern

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

optimize

public Pattern optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
 ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                 throws XPathException

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 Pattern

Parameters:

visitor - an expression 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)

getDependencies

public int getDependencies()

Get the dependencies of the pattern. The only interesting dependencies for a pattern are dependencies on local variables or on user-defined functions. These are analyzed in those patterns containing predicates.

Overrides:

getDependencies in class Pattern

Returns:

the dependencies, as a bit-significant mask

bindCurrent

public void bindCurrent(LocalBinding binding)

Replace any calls on current() by a variable reference bound to the supplied binding

Overrides:

bindCurrent in class Pattern

allocateSlots

public int allocateSlots(SlotManager slotManager,
 int nextFree)

Allocate slots to any variables used within the pattern

Overrides:

allocateSlots in class Pattern

Parameters:

slotManager - details of the stack frame

nextFree - the next slot that is free to be allocated @return the next slot that is free to be allocated

Returns:

the next slot that is free to be allocated

matches

public boolean matches(Item item,
 XPathContext context)
                throws XPathException

Determine whether the pattern matches a given item.

Specified by:

matches in class Pattern

Parameters:

item - the item to be tested

context - The dynamic context.

Returns:

true if the pattern matches, else false

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs while matching the pattern

matchesBeneathAnchor

public boolean matchesBeneathAnchor(NodeInfo node,
 NodeInfo anchor,
 XPathContext context)
                             throws XPathException

Determine whether this pattern matches a given Node within the subtree rooted at a given anchor node. This method is used when the pattern is used for streaming.

Overrides:

matchesBeneathAnchor in class Pattern

Parameters:

node - The NodeInfo representing the Element or other node to be tested against the Pattern

anchor - The anchor node, which if present must match any AnchorPattern subpattern; may be null

context - The dynamic context. Only relevant if the pattern uses variables, or contains calls on functions such as document() or key().

Returns:

true if the node matches the Pattern, false otherwise

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs while matching the pattern (the caller will usually treat this the same as a false result)

getUType

public UType getUType()

Get a UType indicating which kinds of items this Pattern can match.

Specified by:

getUType in class Pattern

Returns:

a UType indicating all the primitive types of item that the pattern can match.

getFingerprint

public int getFingerprint()

Determine the fingerprint of nodes to which this pattern applies. Used for optimisation.

Overrides:

getFingerprint in class Pattern

Returns:

the fingerprint of nodes matched by this pattern.

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Get a NodeTest that all the nodes matching this pattern must satisfy

Specified by:

getItemType in class Pattern

Returns:

an ItemType, as specific as possible, which all the matching items satisfy

getEquivalentExpr

public Expression getEquivalentExpr()

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Determine whether this pattern is the same as another pattern

Overrides:

equals in class Expression

Parameters:

other - the other object

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()

hashcode supporting equals()

Overrides:

computeHashCode in class Expression

Returns:

a computed hash code

copy

public Pattern copy(RebindingMap rebindings)

Copy a pattern. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Pattern

Parameters:

rebindings - variables that need to be re-bound

Returns:

the copy of the original pattern

export

public void export(ExpressionPresenter presenter)
            throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

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 Pattern

Parameters:

presenter - 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.
