Consequences and Limitations of InstrumentationTestwell CTC++ instruments source code, and this is done after preprocessing. This approach leads to consequences regarding coverage measurement which might not be obvious. There are also a few language elements that cannot be instrumented in general. This collection explains the consequences and limitations as well as some ways to cope with them.
Non-returning FunctionsTestwell CTC++ does not recognize immediately when a function call does not return.

Non-returning Functions

Testwell CTC++ does not recognize immediately when a function call does not return.

This is detected only at the next counter, see lines 13 - 15 in the example below. Line highlighting and statement coverage are affected and too high in these cases, but decision coverage and all other coverage measures are correct.
