I think you are right about it being fragile and becoming a big overhead in maintenance. Maybe one could add some sort of annotation to the sources for which you wish to check coverage and also modify HPC to handle these?
A simple interface where the user provides a list of function names to be ignored would be a good start. Something like: hpc markup prog.tix --destdir=report --ignore=fail,error,impossible,undefined It _could_ also be a good idea to have a way of ignoring literals. Flags like --ignore-num-literals and --ignore-string-literals could treat all such literals as covered or ignored. Maybe I should put this as a feature request to the hpc maintainers. I am wondering if they maintain an issue tracker or not. The wiki pages for hpc aren't very helpful... (Starting from: https://wiki.haskell.org/GHC/HPC) Ozgur
