0001123: With Xdebug 2.3.1, PHPUnit with coverage is exponentially slower than without

I can confirm this.

2.2.7 with coverage: 3 min 45 sec
2.3.2 with coverage: 20 min
2.3.2 without coverage: 1 min 35 sec

Same for me, for jenkins jobs, with phpunit 4.6 and php -v:

I've attached build time trend with coverage enabled.

It is to be expected for the execution to be slower when XDEBUG_CC_BRANCH_CHECK is enabled. But without it the performance of the code coverage data collection with Xdebug 2.2 and 2.3 should be the same.

Just to be clear: this slowdown is with XDEBUG_CC_BRANCH_CHECK disabled (not enabled).

I can confirm the performance problem with 2.3.2, which came with the WPN-XM stack - downgrading to 2.2.7 is my temporary work-around too, it performs normally.

I attached two valgrind/callgrind profiles generated with PHP 5.6.9 and both Xdebug 2.2.7 and 2.3.2.

$ git clone https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/money.git [^]
$ cd money
$ valgrind --tool=callgrind /usr/local/php-5.6.9/bin/php ./build/tools/phpunit.phar -c build

I'm not sure, but I think this line https://github.com/xdebug/xdebug/blob/1eb61105f811d09bc90109c611083ac0fad62dc4/xdebug_code_coverage.c#L108 [^]
should read "if (XG(code_coverage_branch_check)) {"

Fixed for 2.3.4 (if that gets released) and Xdebug 3.0.0

It looks like this problem still exists with PHP 7.2.6, XDebug v2.6.0, PHPUnit 7.2.3, and with processIsolation="false"
