Method Detail

atomic

public Bln 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

last

public boolean last(QueryContext ctx)

Returns false if no more results can be expected.

Parameters:

ctx - query context

Returns:

result of check

uses

public boolean uses(Expr.Use u,
                    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:

u - 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

toString

public String toString()

Specified by:

toString in class ExprInfo

plan

public void plan(Serializer ser)
          throws IOException

Description copied from class: ExprInfo

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

Overrides:

plan in class Simple

Parameters:

ser - serializer

Throws:

IOException - I/O exception
