Class LetExpression

    • Constructor Detail

      • LetExpression

        public LetExpression()
        Create a LetExpression
    • Method Detail

      • setIndexedVariable

        public void setIndexedVariable()
        Indicate that the variable bound by this let expression should be indexable (because it is used in an appropriate filter expression)
      • isIndexedVariable

        public boolean isIndexedVariable()
        Test whether the variable bound by this let expression should be indexable
        Returns:
        true if the variable should be indexable
      • getNominalReferenceCount

        public int getNominalReferenceCount()
        Get the (nominal) count of the number of references to this variable
        Returns:
        zero if there are no references, one if there is a single reference that is not in a loop, some higher number if there are multiple references (or a single reference in a loop), or the special value @link RangeVariable#FILTERED} if there are any references in filter expressions that require searching.
      • addReference

        public void addReference​(VariableReference v)
        Register a variable reference that refers to the variable bound in this let expression
        Parameters:
        v - the variable reference
      • typeCheck

        public Expression typeCheck​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                    ItemType contextItemType)
                             throws XPathException
        Type-check the expression
        Overrides:
        typeCheck in class Expression
        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)
      • implementsStaticTypeCheck

        Overrides:
        implementsStaticTypeCheck in class Expression

        true - this expression has a non-trivial implementation of the staticTypeCheck() method
      • staticTypeCheck

        public Expression staticTypeCheck​(SequenceType req,

                                          ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                                   throws XPathException
        Static type checking for let expressions is delegated to the expression itself, and is performed on the "action" expression, to allow further delegation to the branches of a conditional
        Overrides:
        staticTypeCheck in class Expression
        Parameters:
        req - the required type
        backwardsCompatible - true if backwards compatibility mode applies
        role - the role of the expression in relation to the required type
        visitor - an expression visitor
        Returns:
        the expression after type checking (perhaps augmented with dynamic type checking code)
        Throws:
        XPathException - if failures occur, for example if the static type of one branch of the conditional is incompatible with the required type
      • optimize

        public Expression optimize​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                   ItemType contextItemType)
                            throws XPathException
        Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

        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 class Expression
        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 if appropriate to optimize execution
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)
      • checkPermittedContents

        public void checkPermittedContents​(SchemaType parentType,
                                           StaticContext env,
                                           boolean whole)
                                    throws XPathException
        Check that any elements and attributes constructed or returned by this expression are acceptable in the content model of a given complex type. It's always OK to say yes, since the check will be repeated at run-time. The process of checking element and attribute constructors against the content model of a complex type also registers the type of content expected of those constructors, so the static validation can continue recursively.
        Overrides:
        checkPermittedContents in class Expression
        Parameters:
        parentType - the "given complex type": the method is checking that the nodes returned by this expression are acceptable members of the content model of this type
        env - the static context
        whole - if true, we want to check that the value of this expression satisfies the content model as a whole; if false we want to check that the value of the expression is acceptable as one part of the content
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the value delivered by this expression cannot be part of the content model of the given type

        Returns:
        the special properties, as a bit-significant integer
