      public Comment()
      Construct the instruction

  • Method Details

    • getInstructionNameCode

      public int getInstructionNameCode()
      Get the instruction name, for diagnostics and tracing return the string "xsl:comment"
      Overrides:
      getInstructionNameCode in class Instruction
      Returns:
      a code identifying the instruction: typically but not always the fingerprint of a name in the XSLT namespace

    • getItemType

      public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
      Description copied from class: Instruction
      Get the item type of the items returned by evaluating this instruction
      Overrides:
      getItemType in class Instruction
      Parameters:
      th - the type hierarchy cache
      Returns:
      the static item type of the instruction

    • getCardinality

      public int getCardinality()
      Description copied from class: Expression
      Determine the static cardinality of the expression. This establishes how many items there will be in the result of the expression, at compile time (i.e., without actually evaluating the result.
      Overrides:
      getCardinality in class Expression
      Returns:
      one of the values Cardinality.ONE_OR_MORE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_MORE, Cardinality.EXACTLY_ONE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_ONE, Cardinality.EMPTY. This default implementation returns ZERO_OR_MORE (which effectively gives no information).

    • copy

      public Expression copy()
      Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
      Specified by:
      copy in class Expression
      Returns:
      the copy of the original expression

    • localTypeCheck

      public void localTypeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
      Description copied from class: SimpleNodeConstructor
      Method to perform type-checking specific to the kind of instruction
      Specified by:
      localTypeCheck in class SimpleNodeConstructor
      Parameters:
      visitor - an expression visitor
      contextItemType - the static type of the context item
      Throws:
      XPathException

    • processLeavingTail

      public TailCall processLeavingTail(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Process this instruction, to output a Comment Node
      Specified by:
      processLeavingTail in interface TailCallReturner
      Specified by:
      processLeavingTail in class Instruction
      Parameters:
      context - the dynamic context for this transformation
      Returns:
      a TailCall representing a call delegated to the caller. Always returns null in this implementation
      Throws:
      XPathException

    • checkContent

      protected String checkContent(String comment, XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Check the content of the node, and adjust it if necessary
      Overrides:
      checkContent in class SimpleNodeConstructor
      Parameters:
      comment - the supplied content
      context - the dynamic context
      Returns:
      the original content, unless adjustments are needed
      Throws:
      XPathException - if the content is invalid

    • explain

      public void explain(ExpressionPresenter out)
      Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.
      Specified by:
      explain in class Expression
      Parameters:
      out - the expression presenter used to display the structure
