All Implemented Interfaces:

IdentityComparable

public class SingletonIntersectExpression
extends VennExpression

This expression is equivalent to (A intersect B) in the case where A has cardinality zero-or-one. This is handled as a special case because the standard sort-merge algorithm involves an unnecessary sort on B.

Constructor Detail

SingletonIntersectExpression

public SingletonIntersectExpression(Expression p1,
                            int op,
                            Expression p2)

Special case of an intersect expression where the first argument is a singleton

Parameters:

p1 - the first argument, always a singleton

op - the operator, always Token.INTERSECT

p2 - the second argument

Method Detail

simplify

public Expression simplify()
                    throws XPathException

Simplify the expression

Overrides:

simplify in class VennExpression

Returns:

the simplified expression (or the original if unchanged, or if modified in-situ)

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                  ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

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 VennExpression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - 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)

copy

public Expression copy()

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Overrides:

copy in class VennExpression

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext c)
                         throws XPathException

Iterate over the value of the expression. The result will always be sorted in document order, with duplicates eliminated

Overrides:

iterate in class VennExpression

Parameters:

c - The context for evaluation

Returns:

a SequenceIterator representing the union of the two operands

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext c)
                              throws XPathException

Get the effective boolean value. In the case of a union expression, this is reduced to an OR expression, for efficiency

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class VennExpression

Parameters:

c - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the effective boolean value

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

getExpressionName

public String getExpressionName()

Description copied from class: VennExpression

Get a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user.

Overrides:

getExpressionName in class VennExpression

Returns:

a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user. The name will always be in the form of a lexical XML QName, and should match the name used in explain() output displaying the expression.

displayOperator

protected String displayOperator()

Display the operator used by this binary expression

Overrides:

displayOperator in class BinaryExpression

Returns:

String representation of the operator (for diagnostic display only)

tag

protected String tag()

Get the element name used to identify this expression in exported expression format

Overrides:

tag in class VennExpression

Returns:

the element name used to identify this expression
