build_query_vars_from_query_block( WP_Block $block, int $page ): array

Description

Compatibility

Present in every tracked release (6.7.7 to 7.1.0), and compiles on PHP 7.4 through 8.6-dev.

Parameters

$blockWP_Block

Block instance.

$pageint

Current query's page.

Return value

array

Returns the constructed WP_Query arguments.

Performance profile

How much work a call to build_query_vars_from_query_block() 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

Moderate

Reads stored settings via get_option(), cached per request but not free on a cold cache.

Scaling

Constant

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

Instructions

3

Executed per call on PHP 8.5. The body compiles to 413.

Plugin surface

1 hook

Third-party callbacks on 'query_loop_block_query_vars' run inside this call, and their cost is not bounded by anything here.

Called by

6

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

What it touches

• optionoption read or writeget_option()called directly
• hookthird-party callbacksapply_filters()called directly
• cacheobject cachewp_cache_get()one call below build_query_vars_from_query_block()
• serializeserialisationmaybe_unserialize()one call below build_query_vars_from_query_block()

Further down the call graph this can also reach query and transient. Those are the worst case, several calls deep and usually down an error path, not what a normal call pays.

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

Hooks and filters fired · 1

One hook fires while build_query_vars_from_query_block() runs, in this order:

1. 1
   apply_filters( query_loop_block_query_vars )filterline 2809 (+203 into the body)

   Filters the arguments which will be passed to `WP_Query` for the Query Loop Block.
