<br>Ok, please don't submit patches this way in the future. I'm sorry that someone OK'ed the patch with the coverage mapping generation to be committed, they were wrong to do so. We do not accept patches that add functionality without tests, period.</div>

<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">However, if the tests are not ready to be committed (that is, the code review is not finished) then I would suggest reverting your functionality and merging it into the patch which contains the test cases for that functionality.
