WP_HTML_Open_Elements::after_element_pop( WP_HTML_Token $item )

Since
6.4.0
Source
wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-open-elements.php:735
Updates internal flags after removing an element.

Description

Certain conditions (such as "has_p_in_button_scope") are maintained here as flags that are only modified when adding and removing elements. This allows the HTML Processor to quickly check for these conditions instead of iterating over the open stack elements upon each new tag it encounters. These flags, however, need to be maintained as items are added and removed from the stack.

Performance profile

How much work a call to WP_HTML_Open_Elements::after_element_pop() 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
8–57

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 57.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Called by
2

2 places in core call this, so the cost is paid more often than your own code shows.

What one call costs · 2 distinct outcomes

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost WP_HTML_Open_Elements::after_element_pop() 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: 57 instructions, 8–57 executed per call, 22 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.
