Class LocalParamSetter

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, javax.xml.transform.SourceLocator, LocationProvider, SaxonLocator, TailCallReturner, InstructionInfo, org.xml.sax.Locator

    public final class LocalParamSetter
    extends Instruction
    The compiled form of an xsl:param element within a template in an XSLT stylesheet. An xsl:param element used as a template parameter is compiled into two objects: a LocalParam which represents the parameter definition and the Binding for the value, and a LocalParamSetter which is an Instruction to set a default value for the parameter if none has been supplied.

    The xsl:param element in XSLT has mandatory attribute name and optional attribute select. It can also be specified as required="yes" or required="no".

    This is used only for parameters to XSLT templates. For function calls, the caller of the function places supplied arguments onto the callee's stackframe and the callee does not need to do anything. Global parameters (XQuery external variables) are handled using GlobalParam.

    The LocalParam class is also used to represent parameters with the saxon:iterate instruction

        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.

        Returns:
        a set of flags indicating static properties of this expression

        Determine whether this instruction creates new nodes. This implementation returns a default value of false
        Overrides:
        createsNewNodes in class Instruction
        Returns:
        true if the instruction creates new nodes (or if it can't be proved that it doesn't)
      • simplify

        public Expression simplify​(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                            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 class Instruction
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        Returns:
        the simplified expression
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting
      • typeCheck

        public Expression typeCheck​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                    ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                             throws XPathException
        Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.

        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 may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.

        If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.

        Overrides:
        typeCheck in class Expression
        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 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)
      • optimize

        public Expression optimize​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                   ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                            throws XPathException
        Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

        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 Expression
        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)
      • copy

        public Expression copy()
        Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
        Specified by:
        copy in class Expression
        Returns:
        the copy of the original expression
      • getInstructionNameCode

        public int getInstructionNameCode()
        Get the name of this instruction for diagnostic and tracing purposes
        Overrides:
        getInstructionNameCode in class Instruction
        Returns:
        a code identifying the instruction: typically but not always the fingerprint of a name in the XSLT namespace
      • iterateSubExpressions

        public java.util.Iterator<Expression> iterateSubExpressions()
        Get all the XPath expressions associated with this instruction (in XSLT terms, the expression present on attributes of the instruction, as distinct from the child instructions in a sequence construction)
        Overrides:
        iterateSubExpressions in class Expression
        Returns:
        an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression
      • replaceSubExpression

        public boolean replaceSubExpression​(Expression original,
                                            Expression replacement)
        Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression
        Overrides:
        replaceSubExpression in class Expression
        Parameters:
        original - the original subexpression
        replacement - the replacement subexpression
        Returns:
        true if the original subexpression is found
      • processLeavingTail

        public TailCall processLeavingTail​(XPathContext context)
                                    throws XPathException
        Process the local parameter declaration
        Specified by:
        processLeavingTail in interface TailCallReturner
        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 - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the instruction
