Method Details

copy
Create a clone copy of this VariableReference -
setStaticType
Set static type. This is a callback from the variable declaration object. As well as supplying the static type, it may also supply a compile-time value for the variable. As well as the type information, other static properties of the value are supplied: for example, whether the value is an ordered node-set.- Specified by:
setStaticType
in interfaceBindingReference
-
typeCheck
Type-check the expression. At this stage details of the static type must be known. If the variable has a compile-time value, this is substituted for the variable reference- Specified by:
typeCheck
in interfaceExpression
- Parameters:
env
- the static context of the expressioncontextItemType
- 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
-
optimize
public Expression optimize(Optimizer opt, StaticContext env, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException Type-check the expression. At this stage details of the static type must be known. If the variable has a compile-time value, this is substituted for the variable reference- Specified by:
optimize
in interfaceExpression
- Parameters:
opt
- the optimizer in use. This provides access to supporting functions; it also allows different optimization strategies to be used in different circumstances.env
- the static context of the expressioncontextItemType
- 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
-
fixup
Fix up this variable reference to a Binding object, which enables the value of the variable to be located at run-time.- Specified by:
fixup
in interfaceBindingReference
-
refineVariableReference
public void refineVariableReference()Replace this VariableReference where appropriate by a more efficient implementation. This can only be done after all slot numbers are allocated. The efficiency is gained by binding the VariableReference directly to a local or global slot, rather than going via the Binding object -
getItemType
Determine the data type of the expression, if possible- Specified by:
getItemType
in interfaceExpression
- Parameters:
th
-- Returns:
- the type of the variable, if this can be determined statically; otherwise Type.ITEM (meaning not known in advance)
-
computeCardinality
public int computeCardinality()Get the static cardinality- Specified by:
computeCardinality
in classComputedExpression
-
computeSpecialProperties
public int computeSpecialProperties()Determine the special properties of this expression- Overrides:
computeSpecialProperties
in classComputedExpression
- Returns:
StaticProperty.NON_CREATIVE
(unless the variable is assignable using saxon:assign)
-
equals
Test if this expression is the same as another expression. (Note, we only compare expressions that have the same static and dynamic context). -
hashCode
public int hashCode()get HashCode for comparing two expressions -
getIntrinsicDependencies
public int getIntrinsicDependencies()Description copied from class:ComputedExpression
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 classComputedExpression
- Returns:
- a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty
-
promote
Promote this expression if possible- Specified by:
promote
in interfaceExpression
- Overrides:
promote
in classComputedExpression
- Parameters:
offer
- details of the offer, for example the offer to move expressions that don't depend on the context to an outer level in the containing expression- Returns:
- if the offer is not accepted, return this expression unchanged. Otherwise return the result of rewriting the expression to promote this subexpression
- Throws:
XPathException
- if any error is detected
-
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. This implementation provides both all three methods natively.- Specified by:
getImplementationMethod
in interfaceExpression
- Overrides:
getImplementationMethod
in classComputedExpression
-
iterate
Get the value of this variable in a given context.- Specified by:
iterate
in interfaceExpression
- Overrides:
iterate
in classComputedExpression
- Parameters:
c
- the XPathContext which contains the relevant variable bindings- Returns:
- the value of the variable, if it is defined
- Throws:
XPathException
- if the variable is undefined
-
evaluateItem
Description copied from class:ComputedExpression
Evaluate an expression as a single item. This always returns either a single Item or null (denoting the empty sequence). No conversion is done. This method should not be used unless the static type of the expression is a subtype of "item" or "item?": that is, it should not be called if the expression may return a sequence. There is no guarantee that this condition will be detected.- Specified by:
evaluateItem
in interfaceExpression
- Overrides:
evaluateItem
in classComputedExpression
- 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
-
process
Description copied from class:ComputedExpression
Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls- Specified by:
process
in interfaceExpression
- Overrides:
process
in classComputedExpression
- Parameters:
c
- The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.- Throws:
XPathException
-
evaluateVariable
- Throws:
XPathException
-
getBinding
Get the object bound to the variable -
display
Diagnostic print of expression structure- Specified by:
display
in interfaceExpression
- Parameters:
level
- indentation level for this expressionout
- Output destinationconfig
