Field Detail

expr

public Expr expr

Expression.

Constructor Detail

Single

protected Single(InputInfo ii,
      Expr e)

Constructor.

Parameters:

ii - input info

e - expression

Method Detail

comp

public Expr comp(QueryContext ctx)
          throws QueryException

Description copied from class: Expr

Compiles and optimizes the expression, assigns data types and cardinalities.

Specified by:

comp in class Expr

Parameters:

ctx - query context

Returns:

optimized expression

Throws:

QueryException - query exception

uses

public boolean uses(Expr.Use u)

Description copied from class: Expr

Indicates if an expression uses the specified type or operation. This method is called by numerous Expr.comp(org.basex.query.QueryContext) methods to test the properties of sub-expressions. It will return true as soon as at least one test is successful.

Specified by:

uses in class Expr

Parameters:

u - type/operation to be found

Returns:

result of check

count

public int count(Var v)

Description copied from class: Expr

Counts how often the specified variable is used by an expression. This method is called by:

• GFLWOR.comp(org.basex.query.QueryContext) to rewrite where clauses as predicates and remove statically bound or unused clauses
• GFLWOR.compHoist(org.basex.query.QueryContext) to hoist independent variables

Specified by:

count in class Expr

Parameters:

v - variable to be checked

Returns:

number of occurrences

removable

public boolean removable(Var v)

Description copied from class: Expr

Checks if the specified variable is replaceable by a context item. The following tests might return false:

• Preds.removable(org.basex.query.util.Var), if one of the variables is used within a predicate.
• MixedPath.removable(org.basex.query.util.Var), if the variable occurs within the path.
• Group.removable(org.basex.query.util.Var), as the group by expression depends on variable references.

This method is called by GFLWOR.comp(org.basex.query.QueryContext) to rewrite where clauses into predicates.

Specified by:

removable in class Expr

Parameters:

v - variable to be replaced

Returns:

result of check

remove

public Expr remove(Var v)

Description copied from class: Expr

Substitutes all VarRef expressions for the given variable by a Context reference. This method is called by GFLWOR.comp(org.basex.query.QueryContext) to rewrite where clauses as predicates.

Specified by:

remove in class Expr

Parameters:

v - variable to be replaced

Returns:

new expression

plan

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

Description copied from class: ExprInfo

Serializes the expression tree.

Specified by:

plan in class ExprInfo

Parameters:

ser - serializer

Throws:

java.io.IOException - I/O exception
