This XQuery Module contains functions for XQuery code.
Conventions
All functions in this module are assigned to the http://basex.org/modules/prof
namespace, which is statically bound to the prof
prefix.
All errors are assigned to the http://basex.org/errors
namespace, which is statically bound to the bxerr
prefix.
Functions
prof:time
Signatures | prof:time($expr as item()) as item()* prof:time($expr as item(), $cache as xs:boolean) as item()* prof:time($expr as item(), $cache as xs:boolean, $label as xs:string) as item()*
|
Summary | Measures the time needed to evaluate $expr and sends it to standard error or, if the GUI is used, to the Info View.If $cache is set to true() , the result will be temporarily cached. This way, a potential iterative execution of the expression (which often yields different memory usage) is blocked.A third, optional argument $label may be specified to tag the profiling result.
|
Examples |
|
Properties | The function is non-deterministic: evaluation order will be preserved by the compiler. |
prof:mem
Signatures | prof:mem($expr as item()) as item()* prof:mem($expr as item(), $cache as xs:boolean) as item()* prof:mem($expr as item(), $cache as xs:boolean, $label as xs:string) as item()*
|
Summary | Measures the memory allocated by evaluating $expr and sends it to standard error or, if the GUI is used, to the Info View.If $cache is set to true() , the result will be temporarily cached. This way, a potential iterative execution of the expression (which often yields different memory usage) is blocked.A third, optional argument $label may be specified to tag the profiling result.

Properties | The function is non-deterministic: evaluation order will be preserved by the compiler. |
prof:sleep
Signatures | prof:sleep($ms as xs:integer) as empty-sequence()* |
Summary | Sleeps for the specified number of milliseconds. |
Properties | The function is non-deterministic: evaluation order will be preserved by the compiler. |
prof:dump
Signatures | prof:dump($expr as item()) as empty-sequence() prof:dump($expr as item(), $label as xs:string) as empty-sequence() |
Summary | Dumps a serialized representation of $expr to STDERR , optionally prefixed with $label , and returns an empty sequence. If the GUI is used, the dumped result is shown in the Info View.
|
Properties | In contrast to fn:trace() , the consumed expression will not be passed on.
|
prof:current-ms
Signatures | prof:current-ms() as xs:integer |
Summary | Returns the number of milliseconds passed since 1970/01/01 UTC. The granularity of the value depends on the underlying operating system and may be larger. For example, many operating systems measure time in units of tens of milliseconds. |
Properties | In contrast to fn:current-time() , the function is non-deterministic, as it returns different values every time it is called. Its evaluation order will be preserved by the compiler.
|
prof:current-ns
Signatures | prof:current-ns() as xs:integer |
Summary | Returns the current value of the most precise available system timer in nanoseconds. |
Properties | In contrast to fn:current-time() , the function is non-deterministic, as it returns different values every time it is called. Its evaluation order will be preserved by the compiler.
