    • simplify

      public Expression simplify(StaticContext env) throws XPathException
      Description copied from class: ComputedExpression
      Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.
      Specified by:
      simplify in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      simplify in class ComputedExpression
      Parameters:
      env - the static context
      Returns:
      the simplified expression
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting
    • typeCheck

      public Expression typeCheck(StaticContext env, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.

      This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.

      This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.

      If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the parent pointer and location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.

      Specified by:
      typeCheck in interface Expression
      Parameters:
      env - the static context of the expression
      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
    • optimize

      public Expression optimize(Optimizer opt, StaticContext env, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

      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.

      Specified by:
      optimize in interface Expression
      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 expression
      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 if appropriate to optimize execution
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • getItemType

      public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Determine the data type of the expression, if possible. All expression return sequences, in general; this method determines the type of the items within the sequence, assuming that (a) this is known in advance, and (b) it is the same for all items in the sequence.

      This method should always return a result, though it may be the best approximation that is available at the time.

      Specified by:
      getItemType in interface Expression
      Parameters:
      th -
      Returns:
      a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)
    • computeCardinality

      public int computeCardinality()
      Specified by:
      computeCardinality in class ComputedExpression
    • iterateSubExpressions

      public Iterator iterateSubExpressions()
      Description copied from class: ComputedExpression
      Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.
      Specified by:
      iterateSubExpressions in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      iterateSubExpressions in class ComputedExpression
      Returns:
      an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression
    • replaceSubExpression

      public boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original, Expression replacement)
      Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression
      Specified by:
      replaceSubExpression in interface Container
      Overrides:
      replaceSubExpression in class ComputedExpression
      Parameters:
      original - the original subexpression
      replacement - the replacement subexpression
      Returns:
      true if the original subexpression is found
    • promote

      public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer) throws XPathException
      Promote this expression if possible
      Specified by:
      promote in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      promote in class ComputedExpression
      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
    • iterate

      public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Description copied from class: ComputedExpression
      Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.
      Specified by:
      iterate in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      iterate in class ComputedExpression
      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
    • effectiveBooleanValue

      public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Description copied from class: ComputedExpression
      Get the effective boolean value of the expression. This returns false if the value is the empty sequence, a zero-length string, a number equal to zero, or the boolean false. Otherwise it returns true.
      Specified by:
      effectiveBooleanValue in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      effectiveBooleanValue in class ComputedExpression
      Parameters:
      context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
      Returns:
      the effective boolean value
      Throws:
      XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
    • display

      public void display(int level, PrintStream out, Configuration config)
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.
      Specified by:
      display in interface Expression
      Parameters:
      level - indentation level for this expression
      out - Output destination
      config -
    • map

      public Object map(Item item) throws XPathException
      Mapping function to map the wrapped objects returned by the SortedTupleIterator into real items. This is done because each tuple may actually represent a sequence of underlying values that share the same sort key.
      Specified by:
      map in interface MappingFunction
      Parameters:
      item - The item to be mapped.
      Returns:
      one of the following: (a) a SequenceIterator over the sequence of items that the supplied input item maps to, or (b) an Item if it maps to a single item, or (c) null if it maps to an empty sequence.
      Throws:
      XPathException
