Field Detail

var

public Var var
Variable name.

Constructor Detail

VarRef

public VarRef(InputInfo ii,
              Var v)
Constructor.

Parameters:
ii - input info
v - variable
Method Detail

compile

public Expr compile(QueryContext ctx,
                    VarScope scp)
             throws QueryException
Description copied from class: Expr
Compiles and optimizes the expression, assigns data types and cardinalities.

Specified by:
compile in class Expr
Parameters:
ctx - query context
scp - variable scope
Returns:
optimized expression
Throws:
QueryException - query exception

item

public Item item(QueryContext ctx,
                 InputInfo ii)
          throws QueryException
Description copied from class: Expr
Evaluates the expression and returns the resulting item or a null reference, if the expression yields an empty sequence. If this method is not overwritten, Expr.iter(org.basex.query.QueryContext) must be implemented by an expression, as it may be called by this method.

Overrides:
item in class ParseExpr
Parameters:
ctx - query context
ii - input info
Returns:
iterator
Throws:
QueryException - query exception

iter

public Iter iter(QueryContext ctx)
          throws QueryException
Description copied from class: Expr
Evaluates the expression and returns an iterator on the resulting items. If this method is not overwritten, Expr.item(org.basex.query.QueryContext, org.basex.util.InputInfo) must be implemented by an expression, as it may be called by this method.

Overrides:
iter in class ParseExpr
Parameters:
ctx - query context
Returns:
resulting item
Throws:
QueryException - query exception

value

public Value value(QueryContext ctx)
            throws QueryException
Description copied from class: Expr
Evaluates the expression and returns the resulting value.

Overrides:
value in class ParseExpr
Parameters:
ctx - query context
Returns:
iterator
Throws:
QueryException - query exception

removable

public boolean removable(Var v)
Description copied from class: Expr
Checks if the specified variable is replaceable by a context item. The following tests might return false: This method is called by GFLWOR.compile(org.basex.query.QueryContext, org.basex.query.var.VarScope) to rewrite where clauses into predicates.

Specified by:
removable in class Expr
Parameters:
v - variable to be replaced
Returns:
result of check

count

public VarUsage count(Var v)
Description copied from class: Expr
Checks how often a variable is used in this expression.

Specified by:
count in class Expr
Parameters:
v - variable to look for
Returns:
how often the variable is used, see VarUsage

inline

public Expr inline(QueryContext ctx,
                   VarScope scp,
                   Var v,
                   Expr e)
            throws QueryException
Description copied from class: Expr
Inlines an expression into this one, replacing all references to the given variable.

Specified by:
inline in class Expr
Parameters:
ctx - query context for recompilation
scp - variable scope for recompilation
v - variable to replace
e - expression to inline
Returns:
resulting expression in something changed, null otherwise
Throws:
QueryException - query exception

copy

public VarRef copy(QueryContext ctx,
                   VarScope scp,
                   IntObjMap<Var> vs)
Description copied from class: Expr
Copies an expression. Will be useful for inlining functions, or for copying static queries.

Specified by:
copy in class Expr
Parameters:
ctx - query context
scp - variable scope for creating new variables
vs - mapping from old variable IDs to new variable copies
Returns:
copied expression

sameAs

public boolean sameAs(Expr cmp)
Description copied from class: Expr
Compares the current and specified expression for equality.

Overrides:
sameAs in class Expr
Parameters:
cmp - expression to be compared
Returns:
result of check

plan

public void plan(FElem plan)
Description copied from class: ExprInfo
Creates an expression tree.

Specified by:
plan in class ExprInfo
Parameters:
plan - root element

description

public java.lang.String description()
Description copied from class: ExprInfo
Returns a string description of the expression. This method is only called by error messages. Contrary to the ExprInfo.toString() method, arguments are not included in the output.

Overrides:
description in class ExprInfo
