Constructor Detail

### Namespace

    public Namespace(Expression name)

Method Detail

### getInstructionNameCode

    public int getInstructionNameCode()

  Set the name of this instruction for diagnostic and tracing purposes

  Overrides:
    `getInstructionNameCode` in class `Instruction`

### simplify

    public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                        throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `Instruction`
  Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.

  Specified by:
    `simplify` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `simplify` in class `SimpleNodeConstructor`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### getItemType

    public ItemType getItemType()

  Description copied from class: `Instruction`
  Get the item type of the items returned by evaluating this instruction

  Specified by:
    `getItemType` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `getItemType` in class `Instruction`
  Returns:
    the static item type of the instruction

### getCardinality

    public int getCardinality()

  Description copied from class: `ComputedExpression`
  Determine the static cardinality of the expression. This establishes how many items there will be in the result of the expression, at compile time (i.e., without actually evaluating the result.

  Specified by:
    `getCardinality` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `getCardinality` in class `ComputedExpression`
  Returns:
    one of the values Cardinality.ONE_OR_MORE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_MORE, Cardinality.EXACTLY_ONE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_ONE, Cardinality.EMPTY. This default implementation returns ZERO_OR_MORE (which effectively gives no information).

### promoteInst

    protected void promoteInst(PromotionOffer offer)

  Description copied from class: `SimpleNodeConstructor`
  Offer promotion for subexpressions. The offer will be accepted if the subexpression is not dependent on the factors (e.g. the context item) identified in the PromotionOffer. By default the offer is not accepted - this is appropriate in the case of simple expressions such as constant values and variable references where promotion would give no performance advantage. This method is always called at compile time.

  Overrides:
    `promoteInst` in class `SimpleNodeConstructor`
  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

### typeCheck

    public void typeCheck(StaticContext env,
                          ItemType contextItemType)

  Specified by:
    `typeCheck` in class `SimpleNodeConstructor`

### iterateSubExpressions

    public java.util.Iterator iterateSubExpressions()

  Description copied from class: `ComputedExpression`
  Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.

  Specified by:
    `iterateSubExpressions` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `iterateSubExpressions` in class `SimpleNodeConstructor`

### processLeavingTail

    public TailCall processLeavingTail(XPathContext context)
                                throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `Instruction`
  ProcessLeavingTail: called to do the real work of this instruction. This method must be implemented in each subclass. The results of the instruction are written to the current Receiver, which can be obtained via the Controller.

  Specified by:
    `processLeavingTail` in class `Instruction`
  Parameters:
    `context` - The dynamic context of the transformation, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.
  Returns:
    null if the instruction has completed execution; or a TailCall indicating a function call or template call that is delegated to the caller, to be made after the stack has been unwound so as to save stack space.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### display

    public void display(int level,
                        NamePool pool,
                        java.io.PrintStream out)

  Display this instruction as an expression, for diagnostics

  Specified by:
    `display` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `display` in class `SimpleNodeConstructor`
