Class LookupExpression

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.expr.Expression

net.sf.saxon.expr.BinaryExpression

net.sf.saxon.expr.LookupExpression

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExportAgent, Locatable, IdentityComparable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ObjectLookupExpression

public class LookupExpression
extends BinaryExpression

A lookup expression is an expression of the form A?B. Here A must be a sequence of maps or arrays. In the general case B is an expression that computes a key/index into the map or array; the case where B is constant needs to be handled efficiently. The class also implements the unary lookup expression ?B, which is interpreted as .?B. It does not handle the case A?* - that is handled as a LookupAllExpression.

Constructor Detail

LookupExpression

public LookupExpression(Expression start,
                        Expression step)

Constructor

Parameters:

start - The left hand operand (which must always select a sequence of maps or arrays).

step - The step to be followed from each map/array in the start expression to yield a new sequence

Method Detail

getOperandRole

protected OperandRole getOperandRole(int arg)

Description copied from class: BinaryExpression

Get the operand role

Overrides:

getOperandRole in class BinaryExpression

Parameters:

arg - which argument: 0 for the lhs, 1 for the rhs

Returns:

the operand role

getExpressionName

public java.lang.String getExpressionName()

Description copied from class: Expression

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

Overrides:

getExpressionName in class Expression

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 export() output displaying the expression.

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the items returned by this expression

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Returns:

the type of the expression, as far as this is known. Prior to type-checking, the method returns AnyItemType

getStaticUType

public UType getStaticUType(UType contextItemType)

Get the static type of the expression as a UType, following precisely the type inference rules defined in the XSLT 3.0 specification.

Overrides:

getStaticUType in class Expression

Parameters:

contextItemType - not used

Returns:

the static item type of the expression according to the XSLT 3.0 defined rules

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                     throws XPathException

Type-check the expression

Overrides:

typeCheck in class BinaryExpression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextInfo - Information available statically about the context item: whether it is (possibly) absent; its static type; its streaming posture.

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

optimize

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

Description copied from class: BinaryExpression

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 BinaryExpression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextInfo - 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)

getCost

public double getCost()

Return the estimated cost of evaluating an expression. This is a very crude measure based on the syntactic form of the expression (we have no knowledge of data values). We take the cost of evaluating a simple scalar comparison or arithmetic expression as 1 (one), and we assume that a sequence has length 5. The resulting estimates may be used, for example, to reorder the predicates in a filter expression so cheaper predicates are evaluated first.

Overrides:

getCost in class Expression

Returns:

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.

Overrides:

getImplementationMethod in class BinaryExpression

Returns:

the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

copy

public LookupExpression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Parameters:

rebindings - a mutable list of (old binding, new binding) pairs that is used to update the bindings held in any local variable references that are copied.

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Determine the static cardinality of the expression

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class BinaryExpression

Returns:

the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE. May also return StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO if the result is known to be an empty sequence, or StaticProperty.ALLOWS_MANY if if is known to return a sequence of length two or more.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Is this expression the same as another expression?

Overrides:

equals in class BinaryExpression

Parameters:

other - the other operand; the result is false if this is not an Expression

Returns:

true if the other operand is an expression and if it can be determined that the two expressions are equivalent, in the sense that they will always return the same result.

computeHashCode

public int computeHashCode()

get HashCode for comparing two expressions

Overrides:

computeHashCode in class BinaryExpression

Returns:

a computed hash code

iterate

public SequenceIterator<?> iterate(XPathContext context)
                            throws XPathException

Iterate the lookup-expression in a given context

Overrides:

iterate in class Expression

Parameters:

context - the evaluation context

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

mustBeArrayOrMap

protected static void mustBeArrayOrMap(Expression exp,
                                       Item baseItem)
                                throws XPathException

Throws:

XPathException

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

Overrides:

export in class BinaryExpression

Parameters:

destination - the output destination for the displayed expression tree

Throws:

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

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 BinaryExpression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string
