Summary0001144: Add support for filtering of files for code coverage
Description

At the moment, Xdebug returns code coverage for all files from which code is executed between xdebug_start_code_coverage() and xdebug_end_code_coverage().

PHP_CodeCoverage takes the raw data that is returned from xdebug_get_code_coverage() and filters it, ie. removes non-whitelisted files when a whilelist is configured or removes blacklisted files when a blacklist is used.

The analysis that is performed by Xdebug when XDEBUG_CC_BRANCH_CHECK is set is an expensive operation that is uselessly performed for code that a user of PHPUnit / PHP_CodeCoverage is not interested in (the code of PHPUnit and its dependencies, for instance).

It would be beneficial for performance reasons to move the blacklist / whitelist filtering from PHP_CodeCoverage to Xdebug.

TagsNo tags attached.

By the way: I do not think that it would be a good idea to pass the list of whitelisted or blacklisted files to Xdebug with every call to xdebug_start_code_coverage().

There should be two new functions, xdebug_set_code_coverage_blacklist() and xdebug_set_code_coverage_whitelist(), that can be used to configure the filter. This way the data needs to be passed from userland to Xdebug only once.

Is there any plan to work on this ? This would be a huge help when collecting coverage for a functional testsuite.
Slowing down Symfony, Doctrine and all my other deps to collect code coverage on them while PHPunit will then filter all this data out is just a waste of time (and I'm talking about going from a few minutes without coverage to a few hours with coverage enabled on Xdebug 2.3)

Most definitely. Probably on a plane or something. However, I want to have PHP 7 support sort of working first!

Well, to be honest, I'm more interested in getting a usable code coverage reporting on my PHP 5.6 setup (i.e. not taking hours to run my tests with code coverage) than having support for PHP 7 yet (even though it will also be great) :)

If I knew C (and had more time as my own OSS projects are already missing attention currently), I would even consider contributing to this. But my C knowledge is approximately equivalent to building a HelloWorld displayed in STDOUT, so I fear it won't be enough...

is there any plan to implement this now that PHP 7 support is out ?

On a side note, PHPUnit only needs whitelisting support now rather than blacklisting, as PHPUnit 5 removed the blacklisting

Derick: Is this still on your TODO?

Yes, most definitely!
