    public class EagerLetExpression

extends LetExpression

An EagerLetExpression is the same as a LetExpression except that the variable is evaluated using eager evaluation rather than lazy evaluation. This is used when performing diagnostic tracing.

### optimize

    public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,

                        throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `LetExpression`
  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 `LetExpression`
  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)
