### PEER_NODESET

    public static final int PEER_NODESET

  Expression property: this bit is set by getProperties() in the case of an expression that delivers a set of nodes with the guarantee that no node in the set will be an ancestor of any other. This property is useful in deciding whether the results of a path expression are pre-sorted.

### NON_CREATIVE

    public static final int NON_CREATIVE

  Expression property: this bit is set in the case of an expression that will never return newly created nodes, nor a value that depends on the identity of newly created nodes (for example generate-id(new-node())). Expressions that do create new nodes cannot be moved out of loops as this could cause too few nodes to be created: for example if f() creates a new node, then count(for $i in 1 to 5 return f()) must be 5.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NODESET

    public static final int SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NODESET

  Expression property: this bit is set in the case of an expression that delivers a set of nodes that are all in the same document (not necessarily the same document as the context node).

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### HAS_SIDE_EFFECTS

### DEPENDENCY_MASK

    public static final int DEPENDENCY_MASK

  Mask to select all the dependency bits
