This way* If a value has a compact internal representation, memory consumption will be very low, a potential iterative execution of even if the expression (which often yields different serialized result may consume much more memory.* Please note that memory usage) profiling is blockedonly approximative, so it can be quite misleading.<br/>A thirdIf the memory option is enabled, optional argument {{Code|$label}} may main-memory will be specified garbage-collected before and after evaluation to tag improve the profiling resultquality of the measurement.

| '''Summary'''
|-
| '''Summary'''
|Prints a list of all current local and global variable assignments to standard error or, if the GUI is used, to the Info View.<br />As every query is optimized before being evaluated, not all of the original variables may be visible in the output. Moreover, many variables of function calls will disappear because functions are inlined. Function inlining can be turned off by setting the [[Options#INLINELIMIT{{Option|INLINELIMIT]] option }} to <code>0</code>.

|
* {{Code|for $x in 1 to 2 return ($x, prof:variables())}} will dump the values of <code>$x</code> to standard error.
