### TraceWrapper

    public TraceWrapper()

Method Detail

### simplify

    public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                        throws XPathException

  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`
  Specified by:
    `simplify` in class `Instruction`
  Returns:
    the simplified expression
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

### analyze

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

  I Perform static analysis of an expression and its subexpressions.

  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 will only be accurately known if they have been explicitly declared.

  Specified by:
    `analyze` in interface `Expression`
  Specified by:
    `analyze` in class `Instruction`
  Parameters:
    `env` - the static context of the expression
  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)

### processLeavingTail

    public TailCall processLeavingTail(XPathContext context)
                                throws XPathException

  Execute this instruction, with the possibility of returning tail calls if there are any. This outputs the trace information via the registered TraceListener, and invokes the instruction being traced.

  Specified by:
    `processLeavingTail` in class `Instruction`
  Parameters:
    `context` - the dynamic execution context
  Returns:
    either null, or a tail call that the caller must invoke on return
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### getItemType

    public ItemType getItemType()

  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()

  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).

### getDependencies

    public int getDependencies()

  Determine which aspects of the context the expression depends on. The result is a bitwise-or'ed value composed from constants such as `StaticProperty.DEPENDS_ON_CONTEXT_ITEM` and `StaticProperty.DEPENDS_ON_CURRENT_ITEM`. The default implementation combines the intrinsic dependencies of this expression with the dependencies of the subexpressions, computed recursively. This is overridden for expressions such as FilterExpression where a subexpression's dependencies are not necessarily inherited by the parent expression.

  Specified by:
    `getDependencies` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `getDependencies` in class `ComputedExpression`
  Returns:
    a set of bit-significant flags identifying the dependencies of the expression

### createsNewNodes

    public final boolean createsNewNodes()

  Determine whether this instruction creates new nodes. This implementation returns true unconditionally. This suppresses optimizations, which is appropriate when tracing.

  Overrides:
    `createsNewNodes` in class `Instruction`

### computeDependencies

    public int computeDependencies()

  Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-signficant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.

  Overrides:
    `computeDependencies` in class `ComputedExpression`
  Returns:
    a set of flags indicating static properties of this expression

### evaluateItem

    public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException

  Evaluate an expression as a single item. This always returns either a single Item or null (denoting the empty sequence). No conversion is done. This method should not be used unless the static type of the expression is a subtype of "item" or "item?": that is, it should not be called if the expression may return a sequence. There is no guarantee that this condition will be detected.

  Specified by:
    `evaluateItem` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `evaluateItem` in class `Instruction`
  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

### iterate

    public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                             throws XPathException

  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 interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `iterate` in class `Instruction`
  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

### 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 `ComputedExpression`
  Returns:
    an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

### getInstructionNameCode

    public int getInstructionNameCode()

  Description copied from class: `Instruction`
  Get the namecode of the instruction for use in diagnostics

  Overrides:
    `getInstructionNameCode` in class `Instruction`

### display

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

  Diagnostic print of expression structure. The expression is written to the System.err output stream

  Parameters:
    `level` - indentation level for this expression
    `out` -
    `pool` - NamePool used to expand any names appearing in the expression
