Class SlotManager

java.lang.Object
  extended by net.sf.saxon.instruct.SlotManager
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public class SlotManager
extends Object
implements Serializable

A SlotManager supports functions, templates, etc: specifically, any executable code that requires a stack frame containing local variables. In XSLT a SlotManager underpins any top-level element that can contain local variable declarations, specifically, a top-level xsl:template, xsl:variable, xsl:param, or xsl:function element or an xsl:attribute-set element or xsl:key element. In XQuery it underpins functions and global variables. The purpose of the SlotManager is to allocate slot numbers to variables in the stack, and to record how many slots are needed. A Debugger may define a subclass with additional functionality.

SlotManager

public SlotManager(int n)
Create a SlotManager with a given number of slots

Method Detail

getNumberOfVariables

public int getNumberOfVariables()
Get number of variables (size of stack frame)


setNumberOfVariables

public void setNumberOfVariables(int numberOfVariables)
Set the number of variables

Parameters:
numberOfVariables -

allocateSlotNumber

public int allocateSlotNumber(StructuredQName qName)
Allocate a slot number for a variable


getVariableMap

public List<StructuredQName> getVariableMap()
Get the variable map (simply a list of variable names as structured QNames). Note that it is possible for several variables to have the same name.

Changed in Saxon 9.0 to return a list of StructuredQName values rather than integers
