Method Details

simplify
Simplify and validate. This is a pure function so it can be simplified in advance if the arguments are known- Overrides:
simplify
in classFunctionCall
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitor- Returns:
- the simplified expression
- Throws:
XPathException
- if an error is discovered during expression rewriting
-
getIntrinsicDependencies
public int getIntrinsicDependencies()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 classExpression
- Returns:
- a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty
-
preEvaluate
Pre-evaluate a function at compile time. Functions that do not allow pre-evaluation, or that need access to context information, can override this method.- Overrides:
preEvaluate
in classFunctionCall
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitor- Returns:
- the expression, either unchanged, or pre-evaluated
- Throws:
XPathException
-
typeCheck
public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException Description copied from class:FunctionCall
Type-check the expression. This also calls preEvaluate() to evaluate the function if all the arguments are constant; functions that do not require this behavior can override the preEvaluate method.- Overrides:
typeCheck
in classFunctionCall
- 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)
-
evaluateItem
Evaluate in a general context- Specified by:
evaluateItem
in interfaceEvaluableItem
- Overrides:
evaluateItem
in 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
-
