      • simplify

        public Expression simplify​(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                            throws XPathException
        Simplify and validate. This is a pure function so it can be simplified in advance if the arguments are known
        Overrides:
        simplify in class FunctionCall
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        Returns:
        the simplified expression
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting
      • optimize

        public Expression optimize​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                   ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                            throws XPathException
        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 SystemFunction
        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)
      • getCompiledRegularExpression

        public RegularExpression getCompiledRegularExpression()
        Get the compiled regular expression if available, otherwise return null
        Returns:
        the compiled regex, or null
      • evaluateItem

        public Item evaluateItem​(XPathContext c)
                          throws XPathException
        Evaluate the function in a string context
        Overrides:
        evaluateItem in class Expression
        Parameters:
        c - 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
      • call

        public SequenceIterator call​(SequenceIterator[] arguments,
                                     XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException
        Evaluate the expression
        Specified by:
        call in interface CallableExpression
        Parameters:
        arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as SequenceIterators
        context - the dynamic evaluation context
        Returns:
        the result of the evaluation, in the form of a SequenceIterator
        Throws:
        XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression
      • checkReplacement

        public static java.lang.String checkReplacement​(java.lang.CharSequence rep)
        Check the contents of the replacement string
        Parameters:
        rep - the replacement string
        Returns:
        null if the string is OK, or an error message if not
