simplify
public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor) throws XPathException
Simplify the expression- Overrides:
simplify
in classExpression
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitor- Returns:
- the simplified expression
- Throws:
XPathException
- if an error is discovered during expression rewriting
-
typeCheck
public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
Description copied from class: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.
- Overrides:
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)
-
optimize
public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
Description copied from class: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.
- 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)
-
copy
public Expression copy()
Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.- Specified by:
copy
in classExpression
- Returns:
- the copy of the original expression
-
promote
public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer) throws XPathException
Offer promotion for this subexpression. The offer will be accepted if the subexpression is not dependent on the factors (e.g. the context item) identified in the PromotionOffer. By default the offer is not accepted - this is appropriate in the case of simple expressions such as constant values and variable references where promotion would give no performance advantage. This method is always called at compile time.- Overrides:
promote
in classExpression
- 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
-
getItemType
public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
Determine the data type of the items returned by this expression. This implementation returns "item()", which can be overridden in a subclass.- Specified by:
getItemType
in classExpression
- Parameters:
th
- the type hierarchy cache- Returns:
- the data type
-
computeCardinality
public int computeCardinality()
Determine the static cardinality of the expression. This implementation returns "zero or more", which can be overridden in a subclass.- Specified by:
computeCardinality
in classExpression
- 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
-
computeDependencies
public int computeDependencies()
Compute the dependencies of an expression, as the union of the dependencies of its subexpressions. (This is overridden for path expressions and filter expressions, where the dependencies of a subexpression are not all propogated). This method should be called only once, to compute the dependencies; after that, getDependencies should be used.- Overrides:
computeDependencies
in classExpression
- Returns:
- the depencies, as a bit-mask
-
evaluateItem
public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
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 interfaceEvaluableItem
- Overrides:
evaluateItem
in classExpression
- Parameters:
context
- 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
-
iterate
public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
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 interfaceSequenceIterable
- Overrides:
iterate
in classExpression
- 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
-
process
public void process(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls- Overrides:
process
in classExpression
- Parameters:
context
- The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.- Throws:
XPathException
-
explain
public void explain(ExpressionPresenter destination)
Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.- Specified by:
explain
in classExpression
- Parameters:
destination
- the expression presenter used to display the structure
-
getExpressionType
public java.lang.String getExpressionType()
Return a distinguishing name for the expression, for use in diagnostics. By default the class name is used.- Returns:
- a distinguishing name for the expression (defaults to the name of the implementation class)
