The example in this article describes how to use the ltrace tool to track PHP library function calls. Share it with everyone for your reference, the details are as follows:
Perhaps you are already familiar with using strace to track system calls. Today we introduce a powerful tool for tracking library functions, ltrace
For example, I have this piece of PHP code
test.php:
<?php $y = '1380'; $arr = array(); for($i = 0; $i < 2000; $i ++){ $arr[] = "{$i}"; //故意用引号包起来设成字符串 } for($i = 0; $i < 2000; $i ++){ if(!in_array($y, $arr)) continue; } ?>
ltrace -c /usr/local/php/bin/php test.php (-c means summary)
You will see the following output:
% time seconds usecs/call calls function ------ ----------- ----------- --------- -------------------- 95.02 7.417240 368 20146 strtol 2.15 7.160390 413 17316 memcpy 1.63 5.522641 240 22966 free 0.67 2.275374 2275374 1 curl_global_cleanup 0.54 2.235466 617 3618 __ctype_tolower_loc 0.16 2.123547 1194 1778 strrchr 0.17 1.532224 67 22836 malloc 0.29 0.382083 67 5678 strlen
You can see that strtol takes up almost 95.02% of the execution time, and the bottleneck is found. And PHP will try to convert the string number into a long during the in_array() test, which will take a lot of time. Therefore, as long as all strings are converted into integers, the efficiency can be greatly improved.
ltrace is really a good tool
I hope this article will be helpful to everyone in PHP programming.
