  Overrides:
    `computeSpecialProperties` in class `Expression`
  Returns:
    the special properties, as a bit-significant integer

                         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)

### optimize

    public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                               ItemType contextItemType)
                        throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `FunctionCall`
  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 `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 if appropriate to optimize execution
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

### promote

    public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer,
                              Expression parent)
                       throws XPathException

  Promote this expression if possible

  Overrides:
    `promote` in class `FunctionCall`
  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

### computeArgumentEvaluationModes

    public void computeArgumentEvaluationModes()

  Compute the evaluation mode of each argument

### addToPathMap

    public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap,
                                               PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)

  Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

  The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.

  Overrides:
    `addToPathMap` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `pathMap` - the PathMap to which the expression should be added
    `pathMapNodeSet` - the PathMapNodeSet to which the paths embodied in this expression should be added
  Returns:
    the pathMapNode representing the focus established by this expression, in the case where this expression is the first operand of a path expression or filter expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.

### markTailFunctionCalls

    public int markTailFunctionCalls(StructuredQName qName,
                                     int arity)

  Mark tail-recursive calls on stylesheet functions. This marks the function call as tailRecursive if if is a call to the containing function, and in this case it also returns "true" to the caller to indicate that a tail call was found.

  Overrides:
    `markTailFunctionCalls` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `qName` - the name of the function
    `arity` - the arity (number of parameters) of the function
  Returns:
    0 if no tail call was found; 1 if a tail call on a different function was found; 2 if a tail recursive call was found and if this call accounts for the whole of the value.

### getImplementationMethod

    public int getImplementationMethod()

  Description copied from class: `Expression`
  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 directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.

  Overrides:
    `getImplementationMethod` in class `Expression`
  Returns:
    the implementation method, for example `Expression.ITERATE_METHOD` or `Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD` or `Expression.PROCESS_METHOD`

### evaluateItem

    public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext c)
                      throws XPathException

  Call the function, returning the value as an item. This method will be used only when the cardinality is zero or one. If the function is tail recursive, it returns an Object representing the arguments to the next (recursive) call

  Specified by:
    `evaluateItem` in interface `EvaluableItem`
  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

### iterate

    public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext c)
                             throws XPathException

  Call the function, returning an iterator over the results. (But if the function is tail recursive, it returns an iterator over the arguments of the recursive call)

  Specified by:
    `iterate` in interface `SequenceIterable`
  Overrides:
    `iterate` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `c` - 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

### evaluatePendingUpdates

    public void evaluatePendingUpdates(XPathContext context,
                                       PendingUpdateList pul)
                                throws XPathException

  Evaluate an updating expression, adding the results to a Pending Update List. The default implementation of this method, which is used for non-updating expressions, throws an UnsupportedOperationException

  Overrides:
    `evaluatePendingUpdates` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `context` - the XPath dynamic evaluation context
    `pul` - the pending update list to which the results should be written
  Throws:

                                    throws XPathException

  Call the function dynamically. For this to be possible, the static arguments of the function call must have been set up as `SuppliedParameterReference` objects. The actual arguments are placed on the callee's stack, and the type conversion takes place "in situ".
