Method Detail

### compileToIterator

    public String compileToIterator(CompilerService compiler,
                                    Expression expr)

  Description copied from class: `ExpressionCompiler`
  Generate Java code to evaluate the expression as a SequenceIterator

  Specified by:
    `compileToIterator` in class `ExpressionCompiler`
  Parameters:
    `compiler` - the compiler service
    `expr` - the expression to be compiled
  Returns:
    a simple Java expression (usually the name of a variable that has been declared) which will be of class `SequenceIterator`, and which at run-time will hold an iterator over the the value of the expression

### compileAsLoop

    public void compileAsLoop(CompilerService compiler,
                              Expression expr,
                              LoopAction action)

  Compile an expression in the form of a loop.

  Overrides:
    `compileAsLoop` in class `ExpressionCompiler`
  Parameters:
    `compiler` - the CompilerService
    `expr` - the expression to be compiled
    `action` - the action to be taken to process each item in the sequence returned by the expression

### compileToItem

    public String compileToItem(CompilerService compiler,
                                Expression expr)

  Description copied from class: `ExpressionCompiler`
  Generate Java code to evaluate the expression as an Item

  Overrides:
    `compileToItem` in class `SequenceExpressionCompiler`
  Parameters:
    `compiler` - the compiler service
    `expr` - the expression to be compiled
  Returns:
    a simple Java expression (usually the name of a variable that has been declared) which will be of class `Item`, and which will hold the value of the expression at run-time (or hold null, representing an empty sequence).

### compilePush

    public void compilePush(CompilerService compiler,
                            Expression expr)

  Description copied from class: `ExpressionCompiler`
  Generate Java code to execute the expression in push mode, that is, code to write events to the current output Receiver

  Overrides:
    `compilePush` in class `SequenceExpressionCompiler`
  Parameters:
    `compiler` - the compiler service
    `expr` - the expression to be compiled
