is not available in the surface XPath language, but it is used internally in an optimized
expression tree.

typeCheck

typeCheck
in classExpression
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitorcontextItemType
- 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 toType.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)
-
implementsStaticTypeCheck
public boolean implementsStaticTypeCheck()Determine whether this expression implements its own method for static type checking- Overrides:
implementsStaticTypeCheck
in classExpression
- Returns:
- true - this expression has a non-trivial implementation of the staticTypeCheck() method
-
staticTypeCheck
public Expression staticTypeCheck(SequenceType req, boolean backwardsCompatible, RoleLocator role, TypeCheckerEnvironment visitor) throws XPathException Static type checking for let expressions is delegated to the expression itself, and is performed on the "action" expression, to allow further delegation to the branches of a conditional- Overrides:
staticTypeCheck
in classExpression
- Parameters:
req
- the required typebackwardsCompatible
- true if backwards compatibility mode appliesrole
- the role of the expression in relation to the required typevisitor
- an expression visitor- Returns:
- the expression after type checking (perhaps augmented with dynamic type checking code)
- Throws:
XPathException
- if failures occur, for example if the static type of one branch of the conditional is incompatible with the required type
-
optimize
public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType 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 classExpression
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitorcontextItemType
- 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 toType.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)
-
replaceSubExpression
Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression- Overrides:
replaceSubExpression
in classAssignation

original
- the original subexpressionreplacement
- the replacement subexpression- Returns:

public boolean isVacuousExpression()Determine whether this is a vacuous expression as defined in the XQuery update specification- Overrides:
isVacuousExpression
in classExpression
- Returns:
- true if this expression is vacuous
-
checkPermittedContents
public void checkPermittedContents(SchemaType parentType, StaticContext env, boolean whole) throws XPathException Check that any elements and attributes constructed or returned by this expression are acceptable in the content model of a given complex type. It's always OK to say yes, since the check will be repeated at run-time. The process of checking element and attribute constructors against the content model of a complex type also registers the type of content expected of those constructors, so the static validation can continue recursively.- Overrides:
checkPermittedContents
in classExpression
- Parameters:
parentType
- the "given complex type": the method is checking that the nodes returned by this expression are acceptable members of the content model of this typeenv
- the static contextwhole
- if true, we want to check that the value of this expression satisfies the content model as a whole; if false we want to check that the value of the expression is acceptable as one part of the content- Throws:
XPathException
- if the value delivered by this expression cannot be part of the content model of the given type
-
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 classExpression
- Returns:
- the lower and upper bounds of integer values in the result, or null to indicate unknown or not applicable.
-
