public class ChildrenSelector
extends Selector

A Selector that, when evaluated against some Interpreter, yields all of the "children" of the top Item in the interpreter's frame stack. A "child" is defined to be a top-level Item in a Record; it has no definition for any other type.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Selector	andThen(Selector then)	The means to chain Selectors.

boolean	equals(Object other)
<T> T	forSelected(Interpreter interpreter, Selectee<T> callback)	Evaluates callback.selected against the Items that match this Selector's selection criteria.
int	hashCode()
Item	mapSelected(Interpreter interpreter, Selectee<Item> transform)
Item	substitute(Interpreter interpreter)
Selector	then()	Returns the Selector that this Selector uses to match sub-selections.
int	typeOrder()	Returns the heterogeneous sort order of this Item.

Method Detail

then

public Selector then()

Description copied from class: Selector

Returns the Selector that this Selector uses to match sub-selections.

Specified by:

then in class Selector

forSelected

public <T> T forSelected(Interpreter interpreter,
                         Selectee<T> callback)

Description copied from class: Selector

Evaluates callback.selected against the Items that match this Selector's selection criteria. That is, it pushes such Items to interpreter, then invokes callback against it. To support chained Selectors, this is a recursive procedure that invokes forSelected through this.then wherever it exists (which it always does outside of IdentitySelector); we define "subselection" to be such an invocation.

Specified by:

forSelected in class Selector

Returns:

the result of executing callback from the context of the last Selector in the chain formed by Selector then fields.

mapSelected

public Item mapSelected(Interpreter interpreter,
                        Selectee<Item> transform)

Specified by:

mapSelected in class Selector

substitute

public Item substitute(Interpreter interpreter)

Overrides:

substitute in class Item

andThen

public Selector andThen(Selector then)

Description copied from class: Selector

The means to chain Selectors. By intention, this is NOT a strict functional composition: for two Selectors s1 and s2, s1.andThen(s2) DOES NOT NECESSARILY return a new Selector s3 such that s3.evaluate(args) is equivalent to s2.evaluate(s1.evaluate(args)).

The reason for this is that for Selectors like ChildrenSelector that yield (logical) collections, we wish to invoke the next Selector, say a GetSelector, against every result. Under strict functional rules, ChildrenSelector.andThen(someGetSelector).evaluate(args) would instead return at most one defined value regardless of the number of children.

Specified by:

andThen in class Selector

typeOrder

public int typeOrder()

Description copied from class: Item

Returns the heterogeneous sort order of this Item. Used to impose a total order on the set of all items. When comparing two items of different types, the items order according to their typeOrder.

Specified by:

typeOrder in class Item

compareTo

protected int compareTo(Selector that)

Specified by:

compareTo in class Selector

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Specified by:

equals in class Item

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in class Item

debugThen

public <T> Output<T> debugThen(Output<T> output)

Specified by:

debugThen in class Selector
