Hi Folks,
I have a sequence of 46,656 elements that I call "maps."
Here is one map:
<map id="Planes-Enroute-to-Airports">
<singletonMap from="F16" to="DFW"/>
<singletonMap from="B707" to="ORD"/>
<singletonMap from="F35" to="MIA"/>
<singletonMap from="S340" to="LAX"/>
<singletonMap from="A320" to="SFO"/>
<singletonMap from="MD90" to="DEN"/>
</map>
I wrote a function to return all of the distinct maps.
Unfortunately it takes about 5 hours of XSLT processing.
Perhaps my XSLT program is inefficient.
I am hoping that you can show me a more efficient program or identify where my
program is inefficient.
I am using XSLT 2.0.
Here is my function to return all distinct maps:
<xsl:function name="ct:distinct" as="element(map)*">
<xsl:param name="maps" />
<xsl:variable name="new-maps">
<maps>
<xsl:sequence select="$maps" />
</maps>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="$new-maps/maps/map">
<xsl:if test="not(ct:contained-within(.,
./following-sibling::map))"><xsl:sequence select="." /></xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:function>
The following function determines if a map is contained within a sequence of
maps; it uses a binary divide-and-conquer approach:
<xsl:function name="ct:contained-within" as="xs:boolean">
<xsl:param name="map" as="element(map)"/>
<xsl:param name="maps" as="element(map)*"/>
<xsl:variable name="cnt" select="count($maps)" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$cnt eq 0"><xsl:value-of select="false()"
/></xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="ct:equal($map, $maps[1])"><xsl:value-of
select="true()" /></xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$cnt eq 1"><xsl:value-of select="false()"
/></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:variable name="half" select="$cnt idiv 2" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="ct:contained-within($map, $maps[position()
= (2 to $half)])"><xsl:value-of select="true()" /></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of
select="ct:contained-within($map, $maps[position() = (($half + 1) to last())])"
/></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:function>
Two maps are equal iff for each singletonMap in map1 there is a singletonMap in
map2 with the same value for @to and @from:
<xsl:function name="ct:equal" as="xs:boolean">
<xsl:param name="map1" as="element(map)"/>
<xsl:param name="map2" as="element(map)"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count($map1/*) ne count($map2/*)"><xsl:value-of
select="false()" /></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:variable name="result">
<xsl:for-each select="$map1/singletonMap">
<xsl:variable name="here" select="." />
<xsl:if test="$map2/singletonMap[@from eq $here/@from
and @to ne $here/@to]">false</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($result, 'false')"><xsl:value-of
select="false()" /></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="true()"
/></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:function>
