Class VariableStack

java.lang.Object
org.apache.xpath.VariableStack
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable
Direct Known Subclasses:
JAXPVariableStack

public class VariableStack extends Object implements Cloneable
Defines a class to keep track of a stack for template arguments and variables.

This has been changed from the previous incarnations of this class to be fairly low level.

    • elementAt

      public XObject elementAt(int i)
      Get the element at the given index, regardless of stackframe.

      i - index from zero.
      Returns:
      The item at the given index.
    • size

      public int size()

      Returns:
      the total size of the execution stack.
    • reset

      public void reset()
      Reset the stack to a start position.
    • setStackFrame

      public void setStackFrame(int sf)
      Set the current stack frame.
      Parameters:
      sf - The new stack frame position.
    • getStackFrame

      public int getStackFrame()
      Get the position from where the search should start, which is either the searchStart property, or the top of the stack if that value is -1.
      Returns:
      The current stack frame position.
    • link

      public int link(int size)
      Allocates memory (called a stackframe) on the stack; used to store local variables and parameter arguments.

      I use the link/unlink concept because of distant Motorola 68000 assembler memories.

      Parameters:
      size - The size of the stack frame allocation. This ammount should normally be the maximum number of variables that you can have allocated at one time in the new stack frame.
      Returns:
      The bottom of the stack frame, from where local variable addressing should start from.
    • unlink

      public void unlink()
      Free up the stack frame that was last allocated with link(int size).
    • unlink

      public void unlink(int currentFrame)
      Free up the stack frame that was last allocated with link(int size).
      Parameters:
      currentFrame - The current frame to set to after the unlink.
    • setLocalVariable

      public void setLocalVariable(int index, XObject val)
      Set a local variable or parameter in the current stack frame.
      Parameters:
      index - Local variable index relative to the current stack frame bottom.
      val - The value of the variable that is being set.
    • setLocalVariable

      public void setLocalVariable(int index, XObject val, int stackFrame)
      Set a local variable or parameter in the specified stack frame.
      Parameters:
      index - Local variable index relative to the current stack frame bottom. NEEDSDOC @param stackFrame
      val - The value of the variable that is being set.
    • getLocalVariable

      public XObject getLocalVariable(XPathContext xctxt, int index) throws TransformerException
      Get a local variable or parameter in the current stack frame.
      Parameters:
      xctxt - The XPath context, which must be passed in order to lazy evaluate variables.
      index - Local variable index relative to the current stack frame bottom.
      Returns:
      The value of the variable.
      Throws:
      TransformerException
    • getLocalVariable

      public XObject getLocalVariable(int index, int frame) throws TransformerException
      Get a local variable or parameter in the current stack frame.
      Parameters:
      index - Local variable index relative to the given frame bottom. NEEDSDOC @param frame
      Returns:
      The value of the variable.
      Throws:
      TransformerException
    • getLocalVariable

      public XObject getLocalVariable(XPathContext xctxt, int index, boolean destructiveOK) throws TransformerException
      Get a local variable or parameter in the current stack frame.
      Parameters:
      xctxt - The XPath context, which must be passed in order to lazy evaluate variables.
      index - Local variable index relative to the current stack frame bottom.
      Returns:
      The value of the variable.
      Throws:
      TransformerException
    • isLocalSet

      public boolean isLocalSet(int index) throws TransformerException
      Tell if a local variable has been set or not.
      Parameters:
      index - Local variable index relative to the current stack frame bottom.
      Returns:
      true if the value at the index is not null.
      Throws:
      TransformerException
    • clearLocalSlots

      public void clearLocalSlots(int start, int len)
      Use this to clear the variables in a section of the stack. This is used to clear the parameter section of the stack, so that default param values can tell if they've already been set. It is important to note that this function has a 1K limitation.
      Parameters:
      start - The start position, relative to the current local stack frame.
      len - The number of slots to be cleared.
    • setGlobalVariable

      public void setGlobalVariable(int index, XObject val)
      Set a global variable or parameter in the global stack frame.
      Parameters:
      index - Local variable index relative to the global stack frame bottom.
      val - The value of the variable that is being set.
    • getGlobalVariable

      public XObject getGlobalVariable(XPathContext xctxt, int index) throws TransformerException
      Get a global variable or parameter from the global stack frame.
      Parameters:
      xctxt - The XPath context, which must be passed in order to lazy evaluate variables.
      index - Global variable index relative to the global stack frame bottom.
      Returns:
      The value of the variable.
      Throws:
      TransformerException
    • getGlobalVariable

      public XObject getGlobalVariable(XPathContext xctxt, int index, boolean destructiveOK) throws TransformerException

      Returns:
      The value of the variable.
      Throws:
      TransformerException
    • getVariableOrParam

      public XObject getVariableOrParam(XPathContext xctxt, QName qname) throws TransformerException
      Get a variable based on it's qualified name. This is for external use only.
      Parameters:
      xctxt - The XPath context, which must be passed in order to lazy evaluate variables.
      qname - The qualified name of the variable.
      Returns:
      The evaluated value of the variable.
      Throws:
      TransformerException
