makeOptimizedFunctionCall
public Expression makeOptimizedFunctionCall(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo, Expression... arguments) throws XPathException Description copied from class:SystemFunctionAllow the function to create an optimized call based on the values of the actual arguments- Overrides:
makeOptimizedFunctionCallin classSystemFunction- Parameters:
visitor- the expression visitorcontextInfo- information about the context itemarguments- the supplied arguments to the function call. Note: modifying the contents of this array should not be attempted, it is likely to have no effect.- Returns:
- either a function call on this function, or an expression that delivers the same result, or null indicating that no optimization has taken place
- Throws:
XPathException- if an error is detected
-
call
Evaluate the expression- Parameters:
context- the dynamic evaluation contextarguments- the values of the arguments, supplied as Sequences- Returns:
- the result of the evaluation, in the form of a Sequence
- Throws:
XPathException- if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression
-
makeFunctionCall
Description copied from class:SystemFunctionMake an expression that either calls this function, or that is equivalent to a call on this function- Overrides:
makeFunctionCallin classSystemFunction- Parameters:
arguments- the supplied arguments to the function call- Returns:
- either a function call on this function, or an expression that delivers the same result
-
getCompilerName
Description copied from class:SystemFunctionGet the (local) name of a class that can be used to generate bytecode for this system function- Overrides:
getCompilerNamein classSystemFunction- Returns:
- the name of a bytecode generation class, or null if there is no bytecode support for this function
-
getStreamerName
Description copied from class:SystemFunctionGet a name that identifies the class that can be used to evaluate this function in streaming mode, that is, supplying one item or event at a time as it is delivered by the parser. Special streaming support is generally available in Saxon-EE for all system functions that take a sequence as their argument.- Overrides:
getStreamerNamein classSystemFunction- Returns:
- a name that identifies a class that supports streamed evaluation of this system
function, or null if no such class is available. The mapping of names to classes is
defined in the Saxon-EE class
StreamerMap. In non-streaming Saxon editions (HE and PE) the method always returns null.
