Hmm, line 223 *is* exercised by t4015.85.

This, along with Dscho's[1] review of an earlier coverage report,
makes one wonder if there is some off-by-one error in the reporting
logic, such that it is reporting the wrong lines as not covered.

This is definitely possible. I'll see if I can locate the bug in
my report-generation code.

However, line 222 is here [1]

	while (xchp != xch &&

So if this is always false, then the rest of the while condition
will not be tested, nor will the body (line 225: xchp = xchp->next;).

0bb313a5 also added lines 228 and 229, which are not in the report, so
xchp != xch must be true at least once (it is, in t4015.85).

222)				while (xchp != xch &&
223)				       xchp->i1 + xchp->chg1 <= s1 &&
224)				       xchp->i2 + xchp->chg2 <= s2)
225)					xchp = xchp->next;
226)
227)				/* If so, show it after all. */
228)				if (xchp != xch) {
229)					xch = xchp;

If it's just an off-by-one error in either direction, then line 224
still is definitely not covered (which would imply that 225 is not
covered, either).

Right, hence the patch for t4015 I sent with my first reply.
