Zalathar eb2d4cb541 coverage: Skip spans that can't be un-expanded back to the function body
When we extract coverage spans from MIR, we try to "un-expand" them back to
spans that are inside the function's body span.

In cases where that doesn't succeed, the current code just swaps in the entire
body span instead. But that tends to result in coverage spans that are
completely unrelated to the control flow of the affected code, so it's better
to just discard those spans.

The tests in this directory are shared by two different test modes, and can be run in multiple different ways:

  • ./x.py test coverage-map (compiles to LLVM IR and checks coverage mappings)
  • ./x.py test coverage-run (runs a test binary and checks its coverage report)
  • ./x.py test coverage (runs both coverage-map and coverage-run)

Maintenance note

These tests can be sensitive to small changes in MIR spans or MIR control flow, especially in HIR-to-MIR lowering or MIR optimizations.

If you haven't touched the coverage code directly, and the tests still pass in coverage-run mode, then it should usually be OK to just re-bless the mappings as necessary with ./x.py test coverage-map --bless, without worrying too much about the exact changes.
