Constructor Detail

Cast

public Cast(Expr e,
            SeqType t)

Function constructor.

Parameters:

e - expression

t - data type

Method Detail

comp

public Expr comp(QueryContext ctx)
          throws QueryException

Description copied from class: Expr

Optimizes and compiles the expression.

Overrides:

comp in class Single

Parameters:

ctx - query context

Returns:

optimized Expression

Throws:

QueryException - query exception

atomic

public Item atomic(QueryContext ctx)
            throws QueryException

Description copied from class: Expr

Evaluates the expression and returns the resulting item or a null reference. If this method is not overwritten, Expr.iter(org.basex.query.QueryContext) must be implemented.

Overrides:

atomic in class Expr

Parameters:

ctx - query context

Returns:

iterator

Throws:

QueryException - query exception

plan

public void plan(Serializer ser)
          throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: ExprInfo

Recursively sends the abstract syntax of this expression to the specified serializer.

Overrides:

plan in class Single

Parameters:

ser - serializer

Throws:

java.io.IOException - I/O exception

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

info

public java.lang.String info()

Description copied from class: ExprInfo

Returns a string description of the expression. Contrary to the ExprInfo.toString() method, arguments are not included in the output.

Overrides:

info in class ExprInfo

Returns:

result of check

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Specified by:

toString in class ExprInfo
