WP_HTML_Processor::next_visitable_token(): bool

Since
6.7.2
Source
wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-processor.php:804
Ensures internal accounting is maintained for HTML semantic rules while the underlying Tag Processor class is seeking to a bookmark.

Description

This doesn't currently have a way to represent non-tags and doesn't process semantic rules for text nodes. For access to the raw tokens consider using WP_HTML_Tag_Processor instead.

Note that this method may call itself recursively. This is why it is not implemented as WP_HTML_Processor::next_token(), which instead calls this method similarly to how WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::next_token() calls the WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::base_class_next_token() method.

Performance profile

How much work a call to WP_HTML_Processor::next_visitable_token() 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
5–46

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 72.

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 · 21 distinct outcomes

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

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.
