public class Remember
extends ExtensionFunctionDefinition

saxon:remember(item(),item()*) as item()* A function that remembers the value of its second argument against a key from the first

remember(A,B) => eval(B) but records against key A (assumed item()) such that if it's called a second time the result eval(B) is recalled if A is found.

Method Detail

getFunctionQName

public StructuredQName getFunctionQName()

Get the function name, as a QName

Specified by:

getFunctionQName in class ExtensionFunctionDefinition

Returns:

the QName of the function

getMinimumNumberOfArguments

public int getMinimumNumberOfArguments()

Get the minimum number of arguments required by the function

Overrides:

getMinimumNumberOfArguments in class ExtensionFunctionDefinition

Returns:

the minimum number of arguments that must be supplied in a call to this function

getMaximumNumberOfArguments

public int getMaximumNumberOfArguments()

Get the maximum number of arguments allowed by the function

Overrides:

getMaximumNumberOfArguments in class ExtensionFunctionDefinition

Returns:

the maximum number of arguments that may be supplied in a call to this function

getArgumentTypes

public SequenceType[] getArgumentTypes()

Get the required types for the arguments of this function, counting from zero

Specified by:

getArgumentTypes in class ExtensionFunctionDefinition

Returns:

the required types of the argument, as defined by the function signature. Normally this should be an array of size getMaximumNumberOfArguments(); however for functions that allow a variable number of arguments, the array can be smaller than this, with the last entry in the array providing the required type for all the remaining arguments.

getResultType

public SequenceType getResultType(SequenceType[] suppliedArgumentTypes)

Description copied from class: ExtensionFunctionDefinition

Get the type of the result of the function

This method must be implemented in all subtypes.

Specified by:

getResultType in class ExtensionFunctionDefinition

Parameters:

suppliedArgumentTypes - the static types of the supplied arguments to the function. This is provided so that a more precise result type can be returned in the common case where the type of the result depends on the types of the arguments.

Returns:

the return type of the function, as defined by its function signature

makeCallExpression

public ExtensionFunctionCall makeCallExpression()

Description copied from class: ExtensionFunctionDefinition

Create a call on this function. This method is called by the compiler when it identifies a function call that calls this function.

Specified by:

makeCallExpression in class ExtensionFunctionDefinition

Returns:

an expression representing a call of this extension function
