TupleSorter
public TupleSorter(Expression base, SortKeyDefinition[] keys)
Create a TupleSorter- Parameters:
base
- The base expression returns the sequence of tuples to be sorted. Each tuple is represented by an ObjectValue which wraps a Value (that is, in general, a sequence)keys
- Although this class uses the SortKeyDefinition class to define the sort keys, the actual sort key expression in the SortKeyDefinition is not used. This is because the sort key is instead computed as one of the members of the tuple delivered by the TupleSorter. Therefore, the sort key expression is not managed as a child of this expression. Moreover, in xquery the other aspects of a sort key are always fixed statically, so we don't treat those as subexpressions either.

Method Detail
-
getComparators
public AtomicComparer[] getComparators()
Get the array of AtomicComparer objects, one per sort key, that are used to compare values in the sequence- Returns:
- an array of AtomicComparer objects, one per sort key
-
getBaseExpression
public Expression getBaseExpression()
Get the base expression, the expression that computes the sequence to be sorted- Returns:
- the base expression
-
simplify
public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor) throws XPathException
Description copied from class:Expression
Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.- Overrides:
simplify
in classExpression
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitor- Returns:
- the simplified expression
- Throws:
XPathException
- if an error is discovered during expression rewriting
-
typeCheck
public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
Description copied from class:Expression
Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.
This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.
If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the parent pointer and location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.
- Overrides:
typeCheck
in classExpression
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitorcontextItemType
- 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 toType.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)
-
optimize
public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
Description copied from class:Expression
Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.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 classExpression
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitorcontextItemType
- 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 toType.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)
-
copy
public Expression copy()
Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.- Specified by:
copy
in classExpression
- Returns:
- the copy of the original expression
-
getItemType
public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
Description copied from class:Expression
Determine the data type of the expression, if possible. All expression return sequences, in general; this method determines the type of the items within the sequence, assuming that (a) this is known in advance, and (b) it is the same for all items in the sequence.This method should always return a result, though it may be the best approximation that is available at the time.
- Specified by:
getItemType
in classExpression
- Parameters:
th
- the type hierarchy cache- Returns:
- a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)
-
computeCardinality
public int computeCardinality()
Description copied from class:Expression
Compute the static cardinality of this expression- Specified by:
computeCardinality
in classExpression
- 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
-
iterateSubExpressions
public java.util.Iterator iterateSubExpressions()
Description copied from class:Expression
Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.- Overrides:
iterateSubExpressions
in classExpression
- Returns:
- an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression
-
replaceSubExpression
public boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original, Expression replacement)
Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression- Overrides:
replaceSubExpression
in classExpression
- Parameters:
original
- the original subexpressionreplacement
- the replacement subexpression- Returns:
- true if the original subexpression is found
-
promote
public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer) throws XPathException
Promote this expression if possible- Overrides:
promote
in classExpression
- Parameters:
offer
- details of the offer, for example the offer to move expressions that don't depend on the context to an outer level in the containing expression- Returns:
- if the offer is not accepted, return this expression unchanged. Otherwise return the result of rewriting the expression to promote this subexpression
- Throws:
XPathException
- if any error is detected
-
iterate
public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
Description copied from class:Expression
Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.- Specified by:
iterate
in interfaceSequenceIterable
- Overrides:
iterate
in classExpression
- 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
-
explain
public void explain(ExpressionPresenter out)
Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.- Specified by:
explain
in classExpression
- Parameters:
out
- the expression presenter used to display the structure
