For the example, we will have 3 more `CodeRegion` which covers the ranges of `int x = 0`, `int y = 0` and `int z = 0`.

If it does, the line should have an execution count (and we don't even need to bother with emitting a skipped region covering the line). It sounds like we need a different hook in the preprocessor that reports SourceRanges for lines with no non-comment, non-whitespace tokens. Practically, I think this can be wired up just like a CommentHandler (maybe it could be called WhitespaceHandler?). One side-benefit of introducing a new hook like this is that coverage will handle whitespace-only lines the same way as comment-only lines.

One thing to be aware of: llvm's LineCoverageStats class is the one responsible for determining whether a line is "mapped" (i.e. whether it has an execution count). It assumes that when a line begins with a skipped region, the subsequent portion of the line must also be skipped. If we only emit skipped regions for fully whitespace-like lines, that's fine. If not, depending on how C-style comments are handled, that may need updating.


Thanks for the reply. I will work on that.
