BoolFunctionClause

protected BoolFunctionClause(BoolFunction function,
                             List children)
                      throws DAP2ServerSideException

Creates a new BoolFunctionClause.

Parameters:

function - The function invoked by the clause

children - A list of SubClauses, to be given as arguments to the function. If all the arguments are constant, the function clause will be flagged as constant, and evaluated immediatelyx.

Throws:

DAP2ServerSideException - Thrown if either 1) the function does not accept the arguments given, or 2) the clause is constant, and the attempt to evaluate it fails.

Method Detail

getValue

public boolean getValue()

Description copied from interface: TopLevelClause

Returns the current value of the clause. The value of non-constant Clauses is undefined until the evaluate() method has been called.

Specified by:

getValue in interface TopLevelClause

evaluate

public boolean evaluate()
                 throws DAP2ServerSideException

Description copied from interface: TopLevelClause

Evaluates the clause, first calling evaluate() on any sub-clauses it contains. Implementations of this method should flag the clause as "defined" if the evaluation is successful.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface TopLevelClause

Throws:

DAP2ServerSideException - Thrown if the evaluation fails for any reason.

getFunction

public BoolFunction getFunction()

Returns the server-side function invoked by this clause

printConstraint

public void printConstraint(PrintWriter os)

Prints the original string representation of this clause. For use in debugging.

Specified by:

printConstraint in interface Clause
