## net.sf.saxon.instruct
Class Bindery

    java.lang.Object
      net.sf.saxon.instruct.Bindery

public final class Bindery
extends java.lang.Object

The Bindery class holds information about variables and their values. From Saxon 8.1, it is used only for global variables: local variables are now held in the XPathContext object. Variables are identified by a Binding object. Values will always be of class Value.

Constructor Summary
`Bindery()`

Method Summary
`void` | `allocateGlobals(SlotManager map)` Define how many slots are needed for global variables
`void` | `assignGlobalVariable(GlobalVariable binding, ValueRepresentation value)` Assign a new value to a global variable.
`void` | `defineGlobalParameters(GlobalParameterSet params)` Define global parameters
`void` | `defineGlobalVariable(GlobalVariable binding, ValueRepresentation value)` Provide a value for a global variable
`ValueRepresentation` | `getGlobalVariable(int slot)` Get the value of a global variable whose slot number is known
`SlotManager` | `getGlobalVariableMap()` Get the Global Variable Map, containing the mapping of variable names (fingerprints) to slot numbers.
`ValueRepresentation[]` | `getGlobalVariables()` Get all the global variables, as an array.
`ValueRepresentation` | `getGlobalVariableValue(GlobalVariable binding)` Get the value of a global variable
`void` | `setExecuting(GlobalVariable binding, boolean executing)` Set/Unset a flag to indicate that a particular global variable is currently being evaluated.
`boolean` | `useGlobalParameter(int fingerprint, GlobalParam binding, XPathContext context)` Use global parameter.

Constructor Detail

### Bindery

    public Bindery()

Method Detail

### allocateGlobals

    public void allocateGlobals(SlotManager map)

  Define how many slots are needed for global variables

### defineGlobalParameters

    public void defineGlobalParameters(GlobalParameterSet params)

  Define global parameters

  Parameters:
    `params` - The ParameterSet passed in by the user, eg. from the command line

### useGlobalParameter

    public boolean useGlobalParameter(int fingerprint,
                                      GlobalParam binding,
                                      XPathContext context)
                               throws XPathException

  Use global parameter. This is called when a global xsl:param element is processed. If a parameter of the relevant name was supplied, it is bound to the xsl:param element. Otherwise the method returns false, so the xsl:param default will be evaluated.

  Parameters:
    `fingerprint` - The fingerprint of the parameter
    `binding` - The XSLParam element to bind its value to
  Returns:
    true if a parameter of this name was supplied, false if not
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### defineGlobalVariable

    public void defineGlobalVariable(GlobalVariable binding,
                                     ValueRepresentation value)

  Provide a value for a global variable

  Parameters:
    `binding` - identifies the variable
    `value` - the value of the variable

### setExecuting

    public void setExecuting(GlobalVariable binding,
                             boolean executing)
                      throws XPathException

  Set/Unset a flag to indicate that a particular global variable is currently being evaluated.

  Throws:
    `XPathException` - If an attempt is made to set the flag when it is already set, this means the definition of the variable is circular.

### getGlobalVariableValue

    public ValueRepresentation getGlobalVariableValue(GlobalVariable binding)

  Get the value of a global variable

  Parameters:
    `binding` - the Binding that establishes the unique instance of the variable
  Returns:
    the Value of the variable if defined, null otherwise.

### getGlobalVariable

    public ValueRepresentation getGlobalVariable(int slot)

  Get the value of a global variable whose slot number is known

  Parameters:
    `slot` - the slot number of the required variable
  Returns:
    the Value of the variable if defined, null otherwise.

### assignGlobalVariable

    public void assignGlobalVariable(GlobalVariable binding,
                                     ValueRepresentation value)

  Assign a new value to a global variable. Supports saxon:assign.

  Parameters:
    `binding` - identifies the local or global variable or parameter

### getGlobalVariableMap

    public SlotManager getGlobalVariableMap()

  Get the Global Variable Map, containing the mapping of variable names (fingerprints) to slot numbers. This is provided for use by debuggers.

### getGlobalVariables

    public ValueRepresentation[] getGlobalVariables()

  Get all the global variables, as an array. This is provided for use by debuggers that know the layout of the global variables within the array.
