      • 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 class Expression
        Returns:
        a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty
      • typeCheck

        public Expression typeCheck​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                    ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType 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)
      • preEvaluate

        public Expression preEvaluate​(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                               throws XPathException
        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 class FunctionCall
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        Returns:
        the result of the early evaluation, or the original expression, or potentially a simplified expression
        Throws:
        XPathException - if evaluation fails
      • evaluateItem

        public Item evaluateItem​(XPathContext c)
                          throws XPathException
        Evaluate in a general context
        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
      • effectiveBooleanValue

        public boolean effectiveBooleanValue​(XPathContext c)
                                      throws XPathException
        Get the effective boolean value of the expression. This returns false if the value is the empty sequence, a zero-length string, a number equal to zero, or the boolean false. Otherwise it returns true.

        This method is implemented for normalize-space() because it is quite often used in a boolean context to test whether a value exists and is non-white, and because testing for the presence of non-white characters is a lot more efficient than constructing the normalized string, especially because of early-exit.

        Overrides:
        effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression
        Parameters:
        c - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
        Returns:
        the effective boolean value
        Throws:
        XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
