I've wondered many times why isn't there any good coverage utility yet.
good=that works with any debug executable
Isn't it a great metric to be used? Why isn't there much involvement from
valgrind maintainers? (just to know, i don't mean you should, of course)
Do valgrind developers think that VCOV is the proper approach to the
problem?
Thanks,
Aleix
