[9fans] acid questions (coverage, scripting)

[Axel Belinfante]

When looking at the acid coverage library I noticed that its analysis()
routine does not report basic blocks for which the starting source
line is greater or equal than the ending source line.
Now I'm curious: why are those blocks skipped in analysis(),
and how comes that we have (what kind of source code structure gives us)
blocks for which 'startsourceline > endsourecline' ?

Another question: I have tried to 'automate' running acid,
by putting the commands that I want to execute in a file
and then do something like: acid -l coverage prog < file > log
Unfortunately, commands that follow 'coverage()' in file are
not executed, probably because coverage() stops executing
with ... (error) msg: pid=12345 startstop: process exited
after which acid 'forgets' the remainder of the unexecuted
commands that were already read from file (or something similar).
Is there a(n) (easy) way out of this?

Thanks for any insight,
Axel.

oops. I meant the function analyse.                            ^^^^^^^^
