getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the item type

Returns:

a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)

getStaticUType

true if it might be undefined

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Specified by:

computeCardinality in class Expression

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Determine the special properties of this expression

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class Expression

Returns:

the value StaticProperty.NON_CREATIVE

getImplementationMethod

public int getImplementationMethod()

Description copied from class: Expression

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

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Is this expression the same as another expression?

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

computeHashCode

public int computeHashCode()

get HashCode for comparing two expressions

Overrides:

computeHashCode in class Expression

getIntrinsicDependencies

public int getIntrinsicDependencies()

Description copied from class: Expression

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

addToPathMap

public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap,
                                           PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)

Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.

Overrides:

addToPathMap in class Expression

Parameters:

pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added

pathMapNodeSet - the PathMapNodeSet to which the paths embodied in this expression should be added

Returns:

the pathMapNodeSet representing the points in the source document that are both reachable by this expression, and that represent possible results of this expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.

isSubtreeExpression

public boolean isSubtreeExpression()

Determine whether the expression can be evaluated without reference to the part of the context document outside the subtree rooted at the context node.

Overrides:

isSubtreeExpression in class Expression

Returns:

true if the expression has no dependencies on the context node, or if the only dependencies on the context node are downward selections using the self, child, descendant, attribute, and namespace axes.

getNetCost

public int getNetCost()

Description copied from class: Expression

Return the net cost of evaluating this expression, excluding the cost of evaluating its operands. We take the cost of evaluating a simple scalar comparison or arithmetic expression as 1 (one).

Overrides:

getNetCost in class Expression

Returns:

the intrinsic cost of this operation, excluding the costs of evaluating the operands

toPattern

public Pattern toPattern(Configuration config,
                         boolean is30)
                  throws XPathException

Convert this expression to an equivalent XSLT pattern

Overrides:

toPattern in class Expression

Parameters:

config - the Saxon configuration

is30 - true if this is XSLT 3.0

Returns:

the equivalent pattern

Throws:

XPathException - if conversion is not possible

getStreamerName

public java.lang.String getStreamerName()

Get the (partial) name of a class that supports streaming of this kind of expression

Overrides:

getStreamerName in class Expression

Returns:

the partial name of a class that can be instantiated to provide streaming support in Saxon-EE, or null if there is no such class

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Iterate over the value of the expression

Overrides:

iterate in class Expression

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 the expression

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

toString

public java.lang.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 Expression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

export

public void export(ExpressionPresenter destination)
            throws XPathException

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

Specified by:

export in interface ExportAgent

Specified by:

export in class Expression

Parameters:

destination - the expression presenter used to display the structure

Throws:

XPathException - if the export fails, for example if an expression is found that won't work in the target environment.

toShortString

public java.lang.String toShortString()

Description copied from class: Expression

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

Overrides:

toShortString in class Expression

Returns:

a short string, sufficient to identify the expression
