Really? On some browsers it's about 20 times slower on the very benchmark that you are linking to!
Really!! That is strange I tested it multiple times and everytime it showed they are all equal in time. Which test case was 20 times slower?
Opera 11 would be one of them. IE 10 is also quite bad, but by a lower magnitude...
the reduction in performance is usually in wrapping the inside of a function with try and catch. I was thinking of doing the other way and wrapping the functions from outside like this
var temp = PMA_foo PMA_foo = function() { try{ temp.apply(window, arguments); } catch(e) { my_method(e); } }
I am thinking of doing this to all global functions starting with PMA_ and according to the benchmark this should have an equivalent performance to the no try catch performance. also if we don't do anything of the sort then we would never get a stacktrace.
Just wondering, if you add try-catch phrases to the current PMA_* functions, I guess they should be added to future PMA_* functions as well?
I am using javascript to wrap the code around at runtime. Any new function would be wrapped automatically if I do my job right
the javascript in phpmyadmin is just for aesthetics and caching but it is not really very processor intensive anyway it is mostly about doing things to the page and sending requests to the server and most of the heavy lifting is done by jquery itself which I shall not change. The benchmark is to show what happens in the extreme case which may be problematic in node.js where the js code does heavy lifting and performance hits are problematic. however for the simple javascript we have, the negligible loss in performance cannot be perceived by the end users. but the stack traces we get could significantly better their experience in the long run.
I will be using an automated function to add the try and catch at runtime so that there would be minimum modification to the codebase and it can be easily removed if required.

since uglified js provides little to no information about the location of the error. what should we do. I checked up on source maps however the browser support is not enough. so what do you think should happen. I think the only way to go is to add try and catch to all the different functions if you need to find out where the error has occured. however adding try and catch statements to the entire codebase will decrease code readability considerably.
