_mce_set_direction( array $mce_init ): array

Since
2.1.0
Source
wp-includes/functions.php:4762
Sets the localized direction for MCE plugin.

Description

Will only set the direction to 'rtl', if the WordPress locale has the text direction set to 'rtl'.

Fills in the 'directionality' setting, enables the 'directionality' plugin, and adds the 'ltr' button to 'toolbar1', formerly 'theme_advanced_buttons1' array keys. These keys are then returned in the $mce_init (TinyMCE settings) array.

Performance profile

How much work a call to _mce_set_direction() 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
5–23

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 23.

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 _mce_set_direction() 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.
