    public class BreakInstr

extends Instruction

A compiled saxon:break instruction. The effect of executing this instruction is to register with the dynamic context that a tail call on a pseudo-function break() has been made; the enclosing saxon:iterate loop detects this tail call request and uses it as a signal to terminate execution of the loop.

Field Detail

### SAXON_BREAK

    public static StructuredQName SAXON_BREAK

Constructor Detail

### BreakInstr

    public BreakInstr()

  Create the instruction

Method Detail

### simplify

    public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                        throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `Instruction`
  Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.

  Specified by:
    `simplify` in class `Instruction`
  Parameters:
    `visitor` - an expression visitor
  Returns:
    the simplified expression
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

### copy

    public Expression copy()

  Description copied from class: `Expression`
  Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

  Specified by:
    `copy` in class `Expression`
  Returns:
    the copy of the original expression

### createsNewNodes

    public boolean createsNewNodes()

  Description copied from class: `Instruction`
  Determine whether this instruction creates new nodes. This implementation returns a default value of false

  Overrides:
    `createsNewNodes` in class `Instruction`
  Returns:
    true if the instruction creates new nodes (or if it can't be proved that it doesn't)

### processLeavingTail

    public TailCall processLeavingTail(XPathContext context)
                                throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `Instruction`
  ProcessLeavingTail: called to do the real work of this instruction. This method must be implemented in each subclass. The results of the instruction are written to the current Receiver, which can be obtained via the Controller.

  Specified by:
    `processLeavingTail` in interface `TailCallReturner`
  Specified by:
    `processLeavingTail` in class `Instruction`
  Parameters:
    `context` - The dynamic context of the transformation, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.
  Returns:
    null if the instruction has completed execution; or a TailCall indicating a function call or template call that is delegated to the caller, to be made after the stack has been unwound so as to save stack space.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### explain

    public void explain(ExpressionPresenter out)

  Description copied from class: `Expression`
  Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.

  Specified by:
    `explain` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `out` - the expression presenter used to display the structure
