Expression evaluation occurs with respect to a context.
he context consists of:
- a node (the context node) 
- a node list (the context node list) 
- a set of variable bindings 
- a function library 
- the set of namespace declarations in scope for the expression 
Following the switch to hash tables, this need to be trimmed up at
the next binary incompatible release.

xmlXPathFunction ()
An XPath function
The arguments (if any) are popped out of the context stack
and the result is pushed on the stack.

| #define xmlXPathNodeSetGetLength(ns) ((ns) ? (ns)->nodeNr : 0) | 
xmlXPathNodeSetItem()
| #define     xmlXPathNodeSetItem(ns, index) | 
xmlXPathFreeObject ()
Free up an xmlXPathObjectPtr object.
xmlXPathNodeSetCreate ()
Create a new xmlNodeSetPtr of type double and of value val
xmlXPathFreeNodeSetList ()
Free up the xmlXPathObjectPtr obj but don't deallocate the objects in
the list contrary to xmlXPathFreeObject().
xmlXPathFreeNodeSet ()
Free the NodeSet compound (not the actual nodes !).
xmlXPathObjectCopy ()
allocate a new copy of a given object
xmlXPathCmpNodes ()
Compare two nodes w.r.t document order
xmlXPathCastNumberToBoolean ()
| int         xmlXPathCastNumberToBoolean     (double val); | 
Converts a number to its boolean value
xmlXPathCastStringToBoolean ()
| int         xmlXPathCastStringToBoolean     (const xmlChar *val); | 
Converts a string to its boolean value
xmlXPathCastNodeSetToBoolean ()
Converts a node-set to its boolean value
xmlXPathCastBooleanToNumber ()
| double      xmlXPathCastBooleanToNumber     (int val); | 
Converts a boolean to its number value
xmlXPathCastStringToNumber ()
| double      xmlXPathCastStringToNumber      (const xmlChar *val); | 
Converts a string to its number value
xmlXPathCastNodeToNumber ()
| double      xmlXPathCastNodeToNumber        (xmlNodePtr node); | 
Converts a node to its number value
xmlXPathCastNodeSetToNumber ()
Converts a node-set to its number value
xmlXPathCastToNumber ()
Converts an XPath object to its number value
xmlXPathCastBooleanToString ()
| xmlChar*    xmlXPathCastBooleanToString     (int val); | 
Converts a boolean to its string value.
xmlXPathCastNumberToString ()
| xmlChar*    xmlXPathCastNumberToString      (double val); | 
Converts a number to its string value.
xmlXPathCastNodeToString ()
Converts a node to its string value.
xmlXPathCastNodeSetToString ()
Converts a node-set to its string value.
xmlXPathCastToString ()
Converts an existing object to its string() equivalent
xmlXPathConvertBoolean ()
Converts an existing object to its boolean() equivalent

xmlXPathEval ()
Evaluate the XPath Location Path in the given context.
xmlXPathEvalExpression ()
Evaluate the XPath expression in the given context.
xmlXPathEvalPredicate ()
Evaluate a predicate result for the current node.
A PredicateExpr is evaluated by evaluating the Expr and converting
the result to a boolean. If the result is a number, the result will
be converted to true if the number is equal to the position of the
context node in the context node list (as returned by the position
function) and will be converted to false otherwise; if the result
is not a number, then the result will be converted as if by a call
to the boolean function. 
Return 1 if predicate is true, 0 otherwise
xmlXPathCompile ()
Compile an XPath expression
xmlXPathCompiledEval ()
Evaluate the Precompiled XPath expression in the given context.
xmlXPathFreeCompExpr ()
