WP_Block_Processor::get_attributes(): never

Since
6.9.0
Source
wp-includes/class-wp-block-processor.php:1819
Returns a lazy wrapper around the block attributes, which can be used for efficiently interacting with the JSON attributes.

Description

This stub hints that there should be a lazy interface for parsing block attributes but doesn’t define it. It serves both as a placeholder for one to come as well as a guard against implementing an eager function in its place.

Performance profile

How much work a call to WP_Block_Processor::get_attributes() 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
Trivial

Touches nothing outside its own arguments.

Scaling
Constant

No loop in the body: the same number of instructions runs whatever you pass in.

Instructions
4

Executed per call on PHP 8.5. The body compiles to 4.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Called by
0

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_Processor::get_attributes() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

Across PHP versions

Compiles the same on PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6-dev: 4 instructions, 4 executed per call, 0 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.
