[xdebug-general] Re: Code-coverage - clear previously collected data?

Thanks for the clarification Derick, I've added that to the tracker as
requested. If I had more time I'd submit a patch, but I'm a bit busy these
days!

For anyone that needs to work around this for now, here a quick and dirty
function that'll subtract the results of one coverage from another, thereby
leaving you with only the stuff that's happened since you took the first
snapshot (if that makes any sense at all). It's not wildly beautiful code,
but it's reasonably swift, and gets the job done! Might come in handy for
someone.

        public static function subtractCodeCoverage($preCov, $postCov){
            foreach($postCov as $postFile => $postArray){
                if(array_key_exists($postFile, $preCov)){
                    foreach($postArray as $postLine => $postCount){
                        if(array_key_exists($postLine, $preCov[$postFile])){
                            $postCov[$postFile][$postLine] = ($postCount -
$preCov[$postFile][$postLine]);
                            if($postCov[$postFile][$postLine] == 0){
                                unset($postCov[$postFile][$postLine]);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    if(count($postCov[$postFile]) == 0){
                        unset($postCov[$postFile]);
                    }
                }
            }
            return $postCov;
        }

It's a bit more verbose than it needs to be, so I can remember what it does
;)

There is at the moment no function for this. Can you file a feature
request at http://bugs.xdebug.org so that I don't forget to add this
before releasing 2.0?

(Please reply to the mailinglist when replying)
