Detailed Description

Object representing a sequence of query operations to get the set of postings (d,p) of an atomic term or an expression.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QueryExpression::QueryExpression ( const QueryExpression &  o )

inline

QueryExpression::QueryExpression ( )

inline

Member Function Documentation

void QueryExpression::add

(

const QueryExpression &

o

)

Appends the operations of 'o' to this.

Parameters

[in]

o

expression to copy

void QueryExpression::attachVariable

(

const String &

name_

)

Add operation "Attach a variable to the top expression or term on the query stack".

Note

The positions of the query matches of the referenced term or expression can be accessed through this variable in summarization.

Parameters

[in]

name_

name of the variable attached

Remarks

The stack is not changed

void QueryExpression::pushDocField	(	const String &	metadata_start_,
		const String &	metadata_end_
	)

Add operation "Push a single document field specification on the stack".

Parameters

[in]	metadata_start_	name of meta data element that defines the start of the document field, assumed as 1 if name is empty
[in]	metadata_end_	name of meta data element that defines the end of the document field, assumed as max value if name is empty

void QueryExpression::pushExpression	(	const String &	opname_,
		unsigned int	argc_,
		int	range_ = 0,
		unsigned int	cardinality_ = 0
	)

Add operation "Create an expression from the topmost 'argc' elements of the stack, pop them from the stack and push the expression as single unit on the stack".

Parameters

[in]	opname_	name of the expression operator
[in]	argc_	number of operands (topmost elements from stack) of the expression
[in]	range_	range number for the expression span in the document
[in]	cardinality_	number that specifies the minimum size of a subset or subset permutation to match

void QueryExpression::pushTerm	(	const String &	type_,
		const String &	value_,
		const Index &	length_
	)

Add operation "Push a single term on the stack".

Parameters

[in]	type_	query term type name
[in]	value_	query term value
[in]	length_	length of the feature (ordinal position count)

std::size_t QueryExpression::size ( ) const

inline

Get the number of items (sub expressions) on the stack as result of this expression.

Returns

the number of items (sub expressions)
