Question

With lots of efforts and tutorials I got xdebug/wincachegrind up and running but most tutorials end with “Now everythings working, enjoy”.

Everythings working, but I don’t get the column naming in the stats:

• what means Avg. Self (Average Self)?
• what means Cum.?
• what is Total self in opposite to Average Self?
• what is Total Cum in opposite to Average Cum?

I’m a bit confused that I did not find an appropriate answer, so sorry if this is a dumb question.

Answer 1

• Self = Time spend inside the code of that function itself.
• Cum. = Time spend in functions Self calls with it’s self time (short for Cumulative).
• Avg vs. Total: Average is average time per call, Total is the total time spend in all calls.
