Feature request: Export coverage data in JSON format

[0xcpu]

Hi!

I consider that it would be useful to be able to export coverage data in JSON format, as such a feature will permit to use the coverage data in another systems/contexts.

An example: having n number of binaries, we can call an IDA Pro Python script using command line switches to spit coverage for every binary, then we can parse the log(s) and compare coverage.

Thank you!

Thanks for the request! This is something I can probably add in the next version... whenever that is... ❓

Is there any specific data you are looking for? and at what granularity (function level? basic block level?) I can loop back on this thread when I start working towards the next version and see if the implementation fits your needs & use case.

Mainly I'm looking for a mapping between a function(address/symbol) and number of instructions executed inside it or a percentage of coverage(and maybe the number of basic blocks inside the function).

I consider that it would be great to have both granularities, when I've requested this feature I didn't thought only about me, I thought about all possible users that will benefit from such a feature.

Thank you!
