Method Detail

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.atomic(org.basex.query.QueryContext) must be implemented.

Overrides:

iter in class Expr

Parameters:

ctx - query context

Returns:

resulting item

Throws:

QueryException - evaluation exception

root

public Nod root(Item i)

Returns the root node of the specified item.

Parameters:

i - input node

Returns:

root node

uses

public boolean uses(Expr.Use use,
                    QueryContext ctx)

Description copied from class: Expr

Indicates if an expression uses the specified type. Called by the compiler to perform certain optimizations. true is returned by default and thus assumed as "worst-case".

Overrides:

uses in class Simple

Parameters:

use - use type to be checked

ctx - query context

Returns:

result of check

returned

public Return returned(QueryContext ctx)

Description copied from class: Expr

Indicates the return type of an expression. Called by the compiler to check if expressions can be reformulated. null is returned by default.

Overrides:

returned in class Expr

Parameters:

ctx - query context

Returns:

result of check

sameAs

public boolean sameAs(Expr cmp)

Description copied from class: Expr

Checks the current and specified expression for equality.

Overrides:

sameAs in class Expr

Parameters:

cmp - expression to be compared

Returns:

result of check

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Specified by:

toString in class ExprInfo
