public final class TailCallLoop
extends UnaryExpression

A TailCallLoop wraps the body of a function that contains tail-recursive function calls. On completion of the "real" body of the function it tests whether the function has executed a tail call, and if so, iterates to evaluate the tail call.

Method Detail

simplify

public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                    throws XPathException
Simplify an expression

Specified by:
simplify in interface Expression
Overrides:
simplify in class UnaryExpression
Returns:
the simplified expression
Throws:
XPathException

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(StaticContext env,
                            ItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException
Type-check the expression

Specified by:
typeCheck in interface Expression
Overrides:
typeCheck in class UnaryExpression
Throws:
XPathException

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. This implementation provides both iterate() and process() methods natively.

Specified by:
getImplementationMethod in interface Expression
Overrides:
getImplementationMethod in class ComputedExpression

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException
Iterate over the sequence of values

Specified by:
iterate in interface Expression
Overrides:
iterate in class ComputedExpression
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

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException
Evaluate as an Item.

Specified by:
evaluateItem in interface Expression
Overrides:
evaluateItem in class ComputedExpression
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

process

public void process(XPathContext context)
             throws XPathException
Process the function body

Specified by:
process in interface Expression
Overrides:
process in class ComputedExpression
Parameters:
context - The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.
Throws:
XPathException

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression

Specified by:
getItemType in interface Expression
Overrides:
getItemType in class UnaryExpression
Parameters:
th -
Returns:
the item type of the items in the result sequence, insofar as this is known statically.

displayOperator

protected java.lang.String displayOperator(Configuration config)
Give a string representation of the operator for use in diagnostics

Specified by:
displayOperator in class UnaryExpression
Parameters:
config -
Returns:
the operator, as a string
