I executed nmap with as many options as I could think of.
And I collected the results of gcov.

My tests covered most of nmaps functions, but there are
about 50 left that I wasn't able to run by script.
The list is there:
http://ai.pjwstk.edu.pl/~majek/private/nmap/not-runned-functions.txt

These functions are linked somewhere but I don't
know if there is a possibility to trigger them.
(If someone knows how to run any of these functions - please let me know)
(Some of them are impossible to trigger from script like "printStatusMessage")

The functions I mentioned in previous mail were never linked.

The list of tests I used, is in the script. (it's dirty and unfinished)
http://ai.pjwstk.edu.pl/~majek/private/nmap/test-nmap-functions.py


Maybe we can "#ifdef" these functions you suggested not to remove,
so that they won't be compiled for ordinary user?

MM.
