      • simplify

        public Expression simplify​(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                            throws XPathException
        Simplify and validate. This is a pure function so it can be simplified in advance if the arguments are known
        Overrides:
        simplify in class FunctionCall
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        Returns:
        the simplified expression
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting
      • getIntegerBounds

        public IntegerValue[] getIntegerBounds()
        For an expression that returns an integer or a sequence of integers, get a lower and upper bound on the values of the integers that may be returned, from static analysis. The default implementation returns null, meaning "unknown" or "not applicable". Other implementations return an array of two IntegerValue objects, representing the lower and upper bounds respectively. The values UNBOUNDED_LOWER and UNBOUNDED_UPPER are used by convention to indicate that the value may be arbitrarily large. The values MAX_STRING_LENGTH and MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH are used to indicate values limited by the size of a string or the size of a sequence.
        Overrides:
        getIntegerBounds in class Expression
        Returns:
        the lower and upper bounds of integer values in the result, or null to indicate unknown or not applicable.
      • 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
      • preEvaluate

        public Expression preEvaluate​(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                               throws XPathException
        Pre-evaluate a function at compile time. Functions that do not allow pre-evaluation, or that need access to context information, can override this method.
        Overrides:
        preEvaluate in class FunctionCall
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        Returns:
        the expression, either unchanged, or pre-evaluated
        Throws:
        XPathException - if evaluation fails
      • typeCheck

        public Expression typeCheck​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                    ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                             throws XPathException
        Description copied from class: FunctionCall
        Type-check the expression. This also calls preEvaluate() to evaluate the function if all the arguments are constant; functions that do not require this behavior can override the preEvaluate method.
        Overrides:
        typeCheck in class FunctionCall
        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 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)
      • isContextPossiblyUndefined

        public boolean isContextPossiblyUndefined()
        Ask whether the context item may possibly be undefined
        Returns:
        true if it might be undefined
      • evaluateItem

        public Item evaluateItem​(XPathContext c)
                          throws XPathException
        Evaluate in a general context
        Overrides:
        evaluateItem in class Expression
        Parameters:
        c - 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
