    Description

      • xhprof has not been updated for PHP7
      • uprofiler also does not work for PHP7
      • All other forks have not provided the working stability required for general profiling.

      Adding the extension capability of tideways, it works with PHP7 and PHP5.6 which are the supported Moodle 3.2 PHP versions.

      I have used this extension for a few weeks on PHP7 and it has been working very reliably.
