Req #30561 [Opn->Wfx]: PHP code execution tracing

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30561&edit=1 ID: 30561 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: asidorov at hotbox dot ru Summary: PHP code execution tracing -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: Feature/Change Request +Package: *General Issues Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.3.8 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Won't be added to PHP. Stuff like this are the job of debugging extensions. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-26 13:02:57] asidorov at hotbox dot ru XDebug doesn't trace variables automatically. I need expicitly call xdebug_var_dump(), var_dump() or echo. I mean that trace will dump all variables, expressions. Something like dumping program execution tree all expression trees and how they are collapsing. There are situations where I need to know how my code is ran in true details. I suppose it is hard to implement (simply I don't know how the interpreter is implemented so I really don't know). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-26 12:00:47] derick@php.net Xdebug does this just fine, what do you mean? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-26 11:48:22] asidorov at hotbox dot ru Description: ------------ The very very helpful thing would be adding trace capability to PHP to avoid writing all this annoying var_dump's and echo's. Example output is unsuitable ofcourse. It is provided just to show the idea. There may be some number of output templates (full, medium, ...). I know that there are debug_backtrace() and xDebug but those are not the requested. Thank you and best regards. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php /* ... */ // deep - deepness of tracing function calls // output - output file ##TRACE medium, deep(0), output('trace.txt') // ... for ($i=0; $i<$n; $i++) { $a += $arr1[$i]/$arr2[$i] + foo($i); } // ... ##ENDTRACE /* ... */ ?> Expected result: ---------------- trace.txt: //for ($i=0; $i<$n; $i++) { Init: $i=0; Loop: 1) 0($i) < 1($n) == TRUE //$a += $arr1[$i]/$arr2[$i+1] + foo($i); $a = -1($a) + 3($arr1[0]) / 2($arr2[1]) + 0(foo(0)) == 0.5 2) 1($i) < 1($n) == FALSE End loop. //} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30561&edit=1
