### simplify

    public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                        throws XPathException

  Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression).

  Specified by:
    `simplify` in class `Instruction`
  Parameters:
    `visitor` - an expression visitor
  Returns:
    the simplified expression
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

### typeCheck

    public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                ItemType contextItemType)
                         throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `Expression`
  Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.

  This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.

  This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.

  If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.

  Overrides:
    `typeCheck` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `visitor` - an expression visitor
    `contextItemType` - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to `Type.ITEM_TYPE`
  Returns:
    the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

### optimize

    public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                               ItemType contextItemType)
                        throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `Expression`
  Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

  This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

  Overrides:
    `optimize` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `visitor` - an expression visitor
    `contextItemType` - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to `Type.ITEM_TYPE`
  Returns:
    the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

### 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

### getItemType

    public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

  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

### computeDependencies

    public int computeDependencies()

  Compute the dependencies of an expression, as the union of the dependencies of its subexpressions. (This is overridden for path expressions and filter expressions, where the dependencies of a subexpression are not all propogated). This method should be called only once, to compute the dependencies; after that, getDependencies should be used.

  Overrides:
    `computeDependencies` in class `Expression`
  Returns:
    the depencies, as a bit-mask

### createsNewNodes

    public final boolean createsNewNodes()

  Determine whether this instruction creates new nodes. This implementation returns true if the "action" creates new nodes. (Nodes created by the condition can't contribute to the result).

  Overrides:
    `createsNewNodes` in class `Instruction`
  Returns:
    true if the instruction creates new nodes (or if it can't be proved that it doesn't)

### promoteInst

    protected void promoteInst(PromotionOffer offer)
                        throws XPathException

  Handle promotion offers, that is, non-local tree rewrites.

  Overrides:
    `promoteInst` in class `Instruction`
  Parameters:
    `offer` - The type of rewrite being offered
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### iterateSubExpressions

    public Iterator<Expression> iterateSubExpressions()

  Get all the XPath expressions associated with this instruction (in XSLT terms, the expression present on attributes of the instruction, as distinct from the child instructions in a sequence construction)

  Overrides:
    `iterateSubExpressions` in class `Expression`
  Returns:
    an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

### iterateSameFocusSubExpressions

    public Iterator<Expression> iterateSameFocusSubExpressions()

  Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression that are evaluated with the same focus (context item, position, and size) as the parent expression.

  Overrides:
    `iterateSameFocusSubExpressions` in class `Expression`
  Returns:
    an iterator containing those sub-expressions of this expression that are evaluated with the same focus as the parent expression

### addToPathMap

    public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap,
                                               PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)

  Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

  The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.

  Overrides:
    `addToPathMap` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `pathMap` - the PathMap to which the expression should be added
    `pathMapNodeSet` -
  Returns:
    the pathMapNode representing the focus established by this expression, in the case where this expression is the first operand of a path expression or filter expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.

### hasLoopingSubexpression

    public boolean hasLoopingSubexpression(Expression child)

  Given an expression that is an immediate child of this expression, test whether the evaluation of the parent expression causes the child expression to be evaluated repeatedly

  Overrides:
    `hasLoopingSubexpression` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `child` - the immediate subexpression
  Returns:
    true if the child expression is evaluated repeatedly

### replaceSubExpression

    public boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original,
                                        Expression replacement)

  Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression

  Overrides:
    `replaceSubExpression` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `original` - the original subexpression
    `replacement` - the replacement subexpression
  Returns:
    true if the original subexpression is found

### checkPermittedContents

    public void checkPermittedContents(SchemaType parentType,
                                       StaticContext env,
                                       boolean whole)
                                throws XPathException

  Check that any elements and attributes constructed or returned by this expression are acceptable in the content model of a given complex type. It's always OK to say yes, since the check will be repeated at run-time. The process of checking element and attribute constructors against the content model of a complex type also registers the type of content expected of those constructors, so the static validation can continue recursively.

  Overrides:
    `checkPermittedContents` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `parentType` - the "given complex type": the method is checking that the nodes returned by this expression are acceptable members of the content model of this type
    `env` - the static context
    `whole` - if true, we want to check that the value of this expression satisfies the content model as a whole; if false we want to check that the value of the expression is acceptable as one part of the content
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if the value delivered by this expression cannot be part of the content model of the given type

### processLeavingTail

    public TailCall processLeavingTail(XPathContext context)
                                throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `Instruction`
  ProcessLeavingTail: called to do the real work of this instruction. This method must be implemented in each subclass. The results of the instruction are written to the current Receiver, which can be obtained via the Controller.

  Specified by:
    `processLeavingTail` in interface `TailCallReturner`
  Specified by:
    `processLeavingTail` in class `Instruction`
  Parameters:
    `context` - The dynamic context of the transformation, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.
  Returns:
    null if the instruction has completed execution; or a TailCall indicating a function call or template call that is delegated to the caller, to be made after the stack has been unwound so as to save stack space.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### iterate

    public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                             throws XPathException

  Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation relies on the process() method: it "pushes" the results of the instruction to a sequence in memory, and then iterates over this in-memory sequence.

  In principle instructions should implement a pipelined iterate() method that avoids the overhead of intermediate storage.

  Specified by:
    `iterate` in interface `SequenceIterable`
  Overrides:
    `iterate` in class `Instruction`
  Parameters:
    `context` - supplies the context for evaluation
  Returns:
    a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

### map

    public SequenceIterator map(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

  Map one item to a sequence.

  Specified by:
    `map` in interface `ContextMappingFunction`
  Parameters:
    `context` - The processing context. This is supplied only for mapping constructs that set the context node, position, and size. Otherwise it is null.
  Returns:
    either (a) a SequenceIterator over the sequence of items that the supplied input item maps to, or (b) an Item if it maps to a single item, or (c) null if it maps to an empty sequence.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### evaluateSortKey

    public Item evaluateSortKey(int n,
                                XPathContext c)
                         throws XPathException

  Callback for evaluating the sort keys

  Specified by:
    `evaluateSortKey` in interface `SortKeyEvaluator`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### 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
