protected Expression operand1

operator

protected int operator
Constructor Detail

VennExpression

public VennExpression(Expression p1,
                      int op,
                      Expression p2)
Constructor

Parameters:
p1 - the left-hand operand
op - the operator (union, intersection, or difference)
p2 - the right-hand operand
Method Detail

getItemType

public final ItemType getItemType()
Determine the data type of the items returned by this expression

Returns:
the data type

computeCardinality

public final int computeCardinality()
Determine the static cardinality of the expression

Overrides:
computeCardinality in class net.sf.saxon.expr.BinaryExpression

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()
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:
computeSpecialProperties in class ComputedExpression

simplify

public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                    throws XPathException
Simplify the expression

Specified by:
simplify in interface Expression
Overrides:
simplify in class net.sf.saxon.expr.BinaryExpression
Returns:
the simplified expression
XPathException

analyze

public Expression analyze(StaticContext env,
                          ItemType contextItemType)
                   throws XPathException
Type-check the expression

Specified by:
analyze in interface Expression
Overrides:
analyze in class net.sf.saxon.expr.BinaryExpression
Parameters:
env - the static context of the expression
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
XPathException

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Is this expression the same as another expression?

Overrides:
hashCode in class net.sf.saxon.expr.BinaryExpression

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext c)
                         throws XPathException
Iterate over the value of the expression. The result will always be sorted in document order, with duplicates eliminated

Specified by:
iterate in interface Expression
Overrides:
iterate in class ComputedExpression
Parameters:
c - The context for evaluation
Returns:
a SequenceIterator representing the union of the two operands
Throws:
XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException
Get the effective boolean value. In the case of a union expression, this is reduced to an OR expression, for efficiency

Specified by:
effectiveBooleanValue in interface Expression
Overrides:
effectiveBooleanValue in class ComputedExpression
Parameters:
context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
Returns:
the effective boolean value
Throws:
XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

promote

public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer)
                   throws XPathException
Promote this expression if possible

Specified by:
promote in interface Expression
Overrides:
promote in class ComputedExpression
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

iterateSubExpressions

public java.util.Iterator iterateSubExpressions()
Get the immediate subexpressions of this expression

Specified by:
iterateSubExpressions in interface Expression
Overrides:
iterateSubExpressions in class ComputedExpression
Returns:
an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

isCommutative

protected static boolean isCommutative(int operator)

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)
Is this expression the same as another expression?

Overrides:
equals in class java.lang.Object

display

public void display(int level,
                    NamePool pool,
                    java.io.PrintStream out)
Diagnostic print of expression structure

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

displayOperator

protected java.lang.String displayOperator()
