-
copyFrom
protected void copyFrom(VariableReference ref)
-
setStaticType
public void setStaticType(SequenceType type, GroundedValue value, int properties)
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:
setStaticTypein interfaceBindingReference- Parameters:
type- the static type of the variablevalue- the value of the variable if this is a compile-time constant, or null otherwiseproperties- static properties of the expression to which the variable is bound
-
setFlattened
public void setFlattened(boolean flattened)
Mark an expression as being "flattened". This is a collective term that includes extracting the string value or typed value, or operations such as simple value construction that concatenate text nodes before atomizing. The implication of all of these is that although the expression might return nodes, the identity of the nodes has no significance. This is called during type checking of the parent expression. At present, only variable references take any notice of this notification.- Overrides:
setFlattenedin classExpression- Parameters:
flattened- set to true if the result of the expression is atomized or otherwise turned into an atomic value
-
isFlattened
public boolean isFlattened()
Test whether this variable reference is flattened - that is, whether it is atomized etc- Returns:
- true if the value of the variable is atomized, or converted to a string or number
-
setFiltered
public void setFiltered(boolean filtered)
Mark an expression as filtered: that is, it appears as the base expression in a filter expression. This notification currently has no effect except when the expression is a variable reference.- Overrides:
setFilteredin classExpression- Parameters:
filtered- if true, marks this expression as the base of a filter expression
-
isFiltered
public boolean isFiltered()
Determine whether this variable reference is filtered- Returns:
- true if the value of the variable is filtered by a predicate
-
isInLoop
public boolean isInLoop()
Ask whether this variable reference appears in a loop relative to its declaration. By default, when in doubt, returns true. This is calculated during type-checking.- Returns:
- true if this variable reference occurs in a loop, where the variable declaration is outside the loop
-
setInLoop
public void setInLoop(boolean inLoop)
Say whether this variable reference appears in a loop relative to its declaration.- Parameters:
inLoop- true if this variable reference occurs in a loop, where the variable declaration is outside the loop
-
typeCheck
public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo) 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- Overrides:
typeCheckin classExpression- Parameters:
visitor- an expression visitorcontextInfo- Information available statically about the context item: whether it is (possibly) absent; its static type; its streaming posture.- 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)
-
recomputeInLoop
public void recomputeInLoop()
-
optimize
public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType) throws XPathException
Optimize 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- Overrides:
optimizein 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)
-
fixup
public void fixup(Binding newBinding)
Fix up this variable reference to a Binding object, which enables the value of the variable to be located at run-time.- Specified by:
fixupin interfaceBindingReference- Parameters:
newBinding- the Binding to which the variable refers
-
refineVariableType
public void refineVariableType(ItemType type, int cardinality, GroundedValue constantValue, int properties)
Provide additional information about the type of the variable, typically derived by analyzing the initializer of the variable binding- Parameters:
type- the item type of the variablecardinality- the cardinality of the variableconstantValue- the actual value of the variable, if this is known statically, otherwise nullproperties- additional static properties of the variable's initializer
-
getItemType
public ItemType getItemType()
Determine the data type of the expression, if possible- Specified by:
getItemTypein classExpression- Returns:
- the type of the variable, if this can be determined statically; otherwise Type.ITEM (meaning not known in advance)
-
getStaticUType
public UType getStaticUType(UType contextItemType)
Get the static type of the expression as a UType, following precisely the type inference rules defined in the XSLT 3.0 specification.- Overrides:
getStaticUTypein classExpression- Parameters:
contextItemType- the static context item type- Returns:
- the static item type of the expression according to the XSLT 3.0 defined rules
-
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:
getIntegerBoundsin classExpression- Returns:
- the lower and upper bounds of integer values in the result, or null to indicate unknown or not applicable.
-
computeCardinality
public int computeCardinality()
Get the static cardinality- Specified by:
computeCardinalityin 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. May also returnStaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZEROif the result is known to be an empty sequence, orStaticProperty.ALLOWS_MANYif if is known to return a sequence of length two or more.
-
computeSpecialProperties
public int computeSpecialProperties()
Determine the special properties of this expression- Overrides:
computeSpecialPropertiesin classExpression- Returns:
StaticProperty.NO_NODES_NEWLY_CREATED(unless the variable is assignable using saxon:assign)
-
equals
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)
Test if this expression is the same as another expression. (Note, we only compare expressions that have the same static and dynamic context).- Overrides:
equalsin classExpression- Parameters:
other- the other operand; the result is false if this is not an Expression- Returns:
- true if the other operand is an expression and if it can be determined that the two expressions are equivalent, in the sense that they will always return the same result.
-
computeHashCode
public int computeHashCode()
get HashCode for comparing two expressions- Overrides:
computeHashCodein classExpression- Returns:
- a computed hash code
-
getIntrinsicDependencies
public int getIntrinsicDependencies()
Description copied from class:ExpressionDetermine 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:
getIntrinsicDependenciesin classExpression- Returns:
- a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty
-
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:
getImplementationMethodin classExpression- Returns:
- the implementation method, for example
Expression.ITERATE_METHODorExpression.EVALUATE_METHODorExpression.PROCESS_METHOD
-
getScopingExpression
public Expression getScopingExpression()
Get the innermost scoping expression of this expression, for expressions that directly depend on something in the dynamic context. For example, in the case of a local variable reference this is the expression that causes the relevant variable to be bound; for a context item expression it is the innermost focus-setting container. For expressions that have no intrinsic dependency on the dynamic context, the value returned is null; the scoping container for such an expression is the innermost scoping container of its operands.- Overrides:
getScopingExpressionin classExpression- Returns:
- the innermost scoping container of this expression
-
addToPathMap
public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap, PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)
Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.
- Overrides:
addToPathMapin classExpression- Parameters:
pathMap- the PathMap to which the expression should be addedpathMapNodeSet- the PathMapNodeSet to which the paths embodied in this expression should be added- Returns:
- the pathMapNodeSet representing the points in the source document that are both reachable by this expression, and that represent possible results of this expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.
-
iterate
public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext c) throws XPathException
Get the value of this variable in a given context.- Overrides:
iteratein classExpression- 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
public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext c) throws XPathException
Description copied from class:ExpressionEvaluate 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.- Overrides:
evaluateItemin classExpression- 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
-

Get the display name of the variable. This is taken from the variable binding if possible- Returns:
- the display name (a lexical QName
-
getEQName
public java.lang.String getEQName()
Get the EQName of the variable. This is taken from the variable binding if possible. The returned name is in the format Q{uri}local if in a namespace, or the local name alone if not.- Returns:
- the EQName, or the local name if not in a namespace
-
toString
public java.lang.String toString()
The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form, but there is no guarantee that the syntax will actually be true XPath. In the case of XSLT instructions, the toString() method gives an abstracted view of the syntax- Overrides:
toStringin classExpression- Returns:
- a representation of the expression as a string
-
toShortString
public java.lang.String toShortString()
Produce a short string identifying the expression for use in error messages- Overrides:
toShortStringin classExpression- Returns:
- a short string, sufficient to identify the expression
