bind

int bind(SlotBasedRequest request,
         VariableBindings bindings,
         boolean isIterative)
  throws CannotMatchException

Required to permit status buffers to participate in the variable binding process of production instantiation. Since we don't know a priori what the slots the status buffers will contain or their possible values, it is up to the status buffers to attempt to bind variable values

Parameters:

request -

bindings -

Returns:

Throws:

CannotMatchException
