Class TailCallLoop

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.expr.ComputedExpression

net.sf.saxon.expr.UnaryExpression

net.sf.saxon.expr.TailCallLoop

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, javax.xml.transform.SourceLocator, Container, Expression, InstructionInfoProvider

public final class TailCallLoop
extends UnaryExpression

A TailCallLoop wraps the body of a function that contains tail-recursive function calls. On completion of the "real" body of the function it tests whether the function has executed a tail call, and if so, iterates to evaluate the tail call.

simplify

public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify an expression

Specified by:

simplify in interface Expression

Overrides:

simplify in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

env - the static context

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(StaticContext env,
                            ItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException

Type-check the expression

Specified by:

typeCheck in interface Expression

Overrides:

typeCheck in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

env - the static context of the expression

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:

StaticError - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

XPathException

getImplementationMethod

public int getImplementationMethod()

An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is provided. This implementation provides both iterate() and process() methods natively.

Specified by:

getImplementationMethod in interface Expression

Overrides:

getImplementationMethod in class ComputedExpression

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Iterate over the sequence of values

Specified by:

iterate in interface Expression

Overrides:

iterate in class ComputedExpression

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

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate as an Item.

Specified by:

evaluateItem in interface Expression

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class ComputedExpression

Parameters:

context - 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

process

public void process(XPathContext context)
             throws XPathException

Process the function body

Specified by:

process in interface Expression

Overrides:

process in class ComputedExpression

Parameters:

context - The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.

Throws:

XPathException

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression

Specified by:

getItemType in interface Expression

Overrides:

getItemType in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

th -

Returns:

the item type of the items in the result sequence, insofar as this is known statically.

displayOperator

protected java.lang.String displayOperator(Configuration config)

Give a string representation of the operator for use in diagnostics

Specified by:

displayOperator in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

config -

Returns:

the operator, as a string
