    • Method Detail

      • preEvaluate

        public Expression preEvaluate​(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
        preEvaluate: this method suppresses compile-time evaluation by doing nothing (because the value of the expression depends on the runtime context)
        Overrides:
        preEvaluate in class FunctionCall
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        Returns:
        the result of the early evaluation, or the original expression, or potentially a simplified expression
      • 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 class FunctionCall
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        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 - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)
      • evaluateItem

        public Item evaluateItem​(XPathContext c)
                          throws XPathException
        Evaluate in a general context
        Specified by:
        evaluateItem in interface EvaluableItem
        Overrides:
        evaluateItem in class Expression
        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
      • getIntrinsicDependencies

        public int getIntrinsicDependencies()
        Determine the intrinsic dependencies
        Overrides:
        getIntrinsicDependencies in class Expression
        Returns:
        a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty
