Quickly allow you to monitor/control in-memory coverage for your C++-implemented-Python-binded libraries.

[C++] Add Coverage Tracing During Library Compilation

[Python] Add Interface to Operate/Monitor Coverage

import ctypes

_LIB = ctypes.CDLL('/PATH/TO/YOUR_LIB.so')

# calling `reset`, the coverage will not be ZERO (but very small, e.g., 6).
reset = _LIB.mcov_reset

push = _LIB.mcov_push_coverage
pop = _LIB.mcov_pop_coverage

get_total = _LIB.mcov_get_total
get_now = _LIB.mcov_get_now

set_now = _LIB.mcov_set_now

_char_array = ctypes.c_char * get_total()


def get_hitmap():
    hitmap_buffer = bytearray(get_total())
    _LIB.mcov_copy_hitmap(_char_array.from_buffer(hitmap_buffer))
    return hitmap_buffer


def set_hitmap(data):
    assert len(data) == get_total()
    _LIB.mcov_set_hitmap(_char_array.from_buffer(data))
