Class OperandRole

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.expr.OperandRole

public class OperandRole
extends Object

Defines the role of a child expression relative to its parent expression. The properties of an operand role depend only on the kind of expression and not on the actual arguments supplied to a specific instance of the kind of operand.

Method Details

setsNewFocus

public boolean setsNewFocus()

Ask whether the child expression sets the focus for evaluation of other child expressions

Returns:

true if the child expression is evaluated with the same focus as its parent expression

hasSameFocus

public boolean hasSameFocus()

Ask whether the child expression is evaluated with the same focus as its parent expression

Returns:

true if the child expression is evaluated with the same focus as its parent expression

hasSpecialFocusRules

public boolean hasSpecialFocusRules()

isEvaluatedRepeatedly

public boolean isEvaluatedRepeatedly()

Ask whether the operand is a higher-order operand, in the sense that the child expression is evaluated repeatedly during a single evaluation of the parent expression

Returns:

true if the operand is higher-order

isHigherOrder

public boolean isHigherOrder()

isConstrainedClass

public boolean isConstrainedClass()

Ask whether the operand is constrained to be of a particular class (preventing substitution of a variable binding)

Returns:

true if the operand expression is constrained to be of a particular class

getUsage

public OperandUsage getUsage()

Get the usage of the operand

Returns:

the usage

getRequiredType

public SequenceType getRequiredType()

Get the required type of the operand

Returns:

the required type

isInChoiceGroup

public boolean isInChoiceGroup()

Ask whether the operand is a member of a choice group

Returns:

true if the operand is in a choice group

getTypeDeterminedUsage

public static OperandUsage getTypeDeterminedUsage(ItemType type)

Static method to get the type-determined usage for a particular ItemType

Parameters:

type - the required type

Returns:

the type-determined operand usage

modifyProperty

public OperandRole modifyProperty(int property,
 boolean on)

getProperties

public int getProperties()
