public class ConsumingOperand
extends UnaryExpression

This expression is used as a proxy for the consuming operand of an expression such as an arithmetic expression for which there is no explicit streaming support. The actual subexpression is retained, so that it is accessible to compile time operations that walk the expression tree; but at evaluation time, the subexpression is not evaluated in the conventional (pull) way, rather its value is pushed up the tree as a consequence of template inversion. Previously (until 9.6) a SuppliedParameterReference was used for the purpose; but this caused problems with allocation of local variable slots: see bug 2320.

Constructor Detail

ConsumingOperand

public ConsumingOperand(Expression subExpression)

Constructor

Parameters:

subExpression - identifies the expression for which this is a proxy.

Method Detail

getOperandRole

protected OperandRole getOperandRole()

Get the usage (in terms of streamability analysis) of the single operand

Specified by:

getOperandRole in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

the operand usage

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the expression, if possible.

Overrides:

getItemType in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

Type.ITEM, because we don't know the type of the supplied value in advance.

getIntrinsicDependencies

public int getIntrinsicDependencies()

Determine the intrinsic dependencies of an expression, that is, those which are not derived from the dependencies of its subexpressions. For example, position() has an intrinsic dependency on the context position, while (position()+1) does not. The default implementation of the method returns 0, indicating "no dependencies".

Overrides:

getIntrinsicDependencies in class Expression

Returns:

a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Get the static cardinality

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

ZERO_OR_MORE, unless we know the type of the supplied value in advance.

copy

public Expression copy()

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Returns:

the copy of the original 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

evaluate

public Sequence evaluate(XPathContext c)
                  throws XPathException

Get the value of this expression in a given context.

Parameters:

c - the XPathContext which contains the relevant variable bindings

Returns:

the value of the variable, if it is defined

Throws:

XPathException - if the variable is undefined

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Get the value of this expression in a given context.

Overrides:

iterate in class Expression

Parameters:

context - the XPathContext which contains the relevant variable bindings

Returns:

the value of the variable, if it is defined

Throws:

XPathException - if the variable is undefined

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate an expression as a single item. This always returns either a single Item or null (denoting the empty sequence). No conversion is done. This method should not be used unless the static type of the expression is a subtype of "item" or "item?": that is, it should not be called if the expression may return a sequence. There is no guarantee that this condition will be detected.

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

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

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the SuppliedParameterReference expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler

export

public void export(ExpressionPresenter destination)

Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.

Overrides:

export in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

destination - the expression presenter used to display the structure

toString

public String toString()

The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form, but there is no guarantee that the syntax will actually be true XPath. In the case of XSLT instructions, the toString() method gives an abstracted view of the syntax

Overrides:

toString in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

toShortString

public String toShortString()

Description copied from class: Expression

Produce a short string identifying the expression for use in error messages

Overrides:

toShortString in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

a short string, sufficient to identify the expression
