All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, SourceLocator, LocationProvider, SaxonLocator, CallableExpression, InstructionInfo, Locator

public class GeneralComparison10
extends BinaryExpression
implements CallableExpression

GeneralComparison10: a boolean expression that compares two expressions for equals, not-equals, greater-than or less-than. This implements the operators =, !=, invalid input: '<', >, etc. This version of the class implements general comparisons in XPath 1.0 backwards compatibility mode, as defined in the Oct 2004 revision of the specifications.

Constructor Details

GeneralComparison10

public GeneralComparison10(Expression p0,
 int op,
 Expression p1)

Create a general comparison identifying the two operands and the operator

Parameters:

p0 - the left-hand operand

op - the operator, as a token returned by the Tokenizer (e.g. Token.LT)

p1 - the right-hand operand

Method Details

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Determine the static cardinality. Returns [1..1]

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class BinaryExpression

Returns:

the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
 ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException

Type-check the expression

Overrides:

typeCheck in class BinaryExpression

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 checked expression

Throws:

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

setAtomicComparer

public void setAtomicComparer(AtomicComparer comparer)

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
 ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Optimize the expression

Overrides:

optimize in class BinaryExpression

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 checked expression

Throws:

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

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression in a given context

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

context - the given context for evaluation

Returns:

a BooleanValue representing the result of the numeric comparison of the two operands

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

call

public SequenceIterator call(SequenceIterator[] arguments,
 XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression: interface for use by compiled bytecode

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

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression giving a boolean result

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression

Parameters:

context - the given context for evaluation

Returns:

a boolean representing the result of the comparison of the two operands

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

copy

public Expression copy()

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the expression

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Parameters:

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

Type.BOOLEAN

explainExtraAttributes

protected void explainExtraAttributes(ExpressionPresenter out)

Description copied from class: BinaryExpression

Add subclass-specific attributes to the expression tree explanation. Default implementation does nothing; this is provided for subclasses to override.

Overrides:

explainExtraAttributes in class BinaryExpression

Parameters:

out - the output destination for the displayed expression tree
