      • optimize

        public Expression optimize​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                   ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType 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 SystemFunction
        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)
      • getItemType

        public ItemType getItemType​(TypeHierarchy th)
        Determine the data type of the items in the sequence
        Overrides:
        getItemType in class SystemFunction
        Parameters:
        th - the type hierarchy cache
        Returns:
        the type of the input sequence
      • 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:
        getIntegerBounds in class Expression
        Returns:
        the lower and upper bounds of integer values in the result, or null to indicate unknown or not applicable.
      • iterate

        public SequenceIterator iterate​(XPathContext context)
                                 throws XPathException
        Evaluate the function to return an iteration of selected nodes.
        Overrides:
        iterate in class Expression
        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
      • call

        public SequenceIterator call​(SequenceIterator[] arguments,
                                     XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException
        Evaluate the expression as a general function call
        Specified by:
        call in interface CallableExpression
        Parameters:
        arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as SequenceIterators
        context - the dynamic evaluation context
        Returns:
        the result of the evaluation, in the form of a SequenceIterator
        Throws:
        XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression
