typedef QExplicitlySharedDataPointer< const ExpressionSequence > | ConstPtr |
Implements the comma(",") operator, the sequence constructor.
For example, the expression alpha, beta
evaluates to a sequence containing the items the nodetest alpha
evaluates to, concatenated with the items the nodetest beta
evaluates to.

Removes any empty sequences, typically "()", from its list of children. If after that rewrite has no children, it rewrites itself to the CommonValues::empty; if it has only one, it rewrites to the child.
This optimization is not very usable by itself, but potentially becomes effective after other optimizations have rewritten themselves into empty sequences. Thus, saving memory consumption and runtime overhead.

Evaluate this Expression by iterating over it. This is a central function for evaluating expressions.
Expressions must always always return a valid QAbstractXmlForwardIterator and may never return 0. If an empty result is of interest to be returned, the EmptyIterator should be returned.
The default implementation returns a SingletonIterator over the item returned from evaluateSingleton().

Returns a list of Sequence Types, describing the type of each of the expression's operands. Hence, this function has a relationship to the operands() function:
- The lengths of the lists returned by expectedOperandTypes() and operands() should always be equal in length, since one cannot describe the type of a non-existent operand(and all operands must have type information). - A significant difference between the two functions is that while the type of objects in the list returned by operands() may vary between compilations/static context, simply because the particular Expression is part of different XPath expressions, the types in the list returned by expectedOperandTypes is always the same since the function/operator signature never changes.
This function should not be confused with staticType(), which returns the static type of the expression itself, not its operands. The function call is an expression where this is clear: the type of the return value is not the same as the arguments' types. The static type of the operands supplied to the expression can be determined via the staticType() function of the instances returned by operands().
If the expression has no operands, an empty list should be returned.

This property, which has no setter, returns an enum value that uniquely identifies this Expression. Patternist makes no use of C++'s dynamic_cast feature, but uses this polymorphic function instead.

This implementation guarantees to never rewrite away this Expression, but at most rewrite it as a child of another expression(that presumably have a type checking role). It is therefore always safe to override this function and call this implementation and not worry about that this Expression becomes deleted.
Many Expressions override typeCheck() and performs optimizations, as opposed to doing it in the compress() stage. This is due to that the design of those Expressions often are tied to that certain simplifications are done at the typeCheck() stage of the compilation process or that it in some other way is related to what the typeCheck() do. Also, the earlier the AST can be simplified, the better the chances are for subsequent optimizations.
It is important that the super class's typeCheck() is called before doing any custom type checking, since the call can change the children(notably, the childrens' static types). For example, if the Expression, MyExpression in the example, does not match the required type, typeCheck returns the Expression wrapped in for example ItemVerifier, CardinalityVerifier, or both.
typeCheck() may be called many times. typeCheck() must either raise an error if this Expression is an invalid expression. Thus, it is guaranteed that an Expression is valid after typeCheck() is called.
context | supplies information, such as namespace bindings and available function signatures, that can be needed at compilation time. context is guaranteed by the caller to never null. |
