Method Detail

### optimize

    public Expression optimize(Optimizer opt,
                               StaticContext env,
                               ItemType contextItemType)
                        throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `FunctionCall`
  Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

  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.

  Specified by:
    `optimize` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `optimize` in class `FunctionCall`
  Parameters:
    `opt` - the optimizer in use. This provides access to supporting functions; it also allows different optimization strategies to be used in different circumstances.
    `env` - the static context of the expression
    `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`

### evaluateItem

    public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext c)
                      throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `ComputedExpression`
  Evaluate an expression as a single item. This always returns either a single Item or null (denoting the empty sequence). No conversion is done. This method should not be used unless the static type of the expression is a subtype of "item" or "item?": that is, it should not be called if the expression may return a sequence. There is no guarantee that this condition will be detected.

  Specified by:
    `evaluateItem` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `evaluateItem` in class `ComputedExpression`
  Parameters:
    `c` - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
  Returns:
    the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
