WP_Block::refresh_parsed_block_dependents()

Since
6.8.0
Source
wp-includes/class-wp-block.php:186
Updates the parsed block content for the current block and its inner blocks.

Description

This method sets the inner_html and inner_content properties of the block based on the parsed block content provided during initialization. It ensures that the block instance reflects the most up-to-date content for both the inner HTML and any string fragments around inner blocks.

If the block has inner blocks, this method initializes a new WP_Block_List for them, ensuring the correct content and context are updated for each nested block.

Performance profile

How much work a call to WP_Block::refresh_parsed_block_dependents() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Cost class
Light

Touches nothing outside its own arguments.

Scaling
Scales with input

The body loops, so the work grows with how much data it finds.

Instructions
10–39

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 48.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Nothing in core calls this; the cost is only what you spend yourself.

What one call costs · 1 distinct outcome

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost WP_Block::refresh_parsed_block_dependents() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

WhenInstructionsCalls it makes
always10–39none

Across PHP versions

Compiles the same on PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6-dev: 48 instructions, 10–39 executed per call, 7 branches. The work does not change between versions.

An instruction is not a fixed amount of time, so a matching count is not necessarily the same speed; what it rules out is a difference in the work itself.
