Field Detail

CLEARLIMITATION

public static final int CLEARLIMITATION

limitation for 1K

Constructor Detail

VariableStack

public VariableStack()

Constructor for a variable stack.

VariableStack

public VariableStack(int initStackSize)

Constructor for a variable stack.

Parameters:

initStackSize - The initial stack size. Must be at least one. The stack can grow if needed.

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Returns a clone of this variable stack.

Returns:

a clone of this variable stack.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException -

elementAt

public XObject elementAt(int i)

Get the element at the given index, regardless of stackframe.

Parameters:

i - index from zero.

Returns:

The item at the given index.

size

public int size()

Get size of the stack.

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:

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

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

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 -

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.
