RandCovPoint and illegal or ignored Bins

[Sebastian Dunst]

Hello,
I am trying to use the intelligent coverage feature (RandCovPoint) in combination with the requirement that only even random numbers (and bins) are generated.

My approach was:
v_cov_bin1.AddBins(GenBin(1,8,8);
v_cov_bin1.AddBins(IllegalBin(1));
v_cov_bin1.AddBins(IllegalBin(3));
v_cov_bin1.AddBins(IllegalBin(5));
v_cov_bin1.AddBins(IllegalBin(7));

But the function RandCovPoint also creates odd random numbers like 1 and 3.

In the RandomPkg there would be the possibility to exclude values with the help of the exclude vectors. But what does I have to do when using the CoveragePkg and the intelligent coverage feature?

Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Sebastian

Cool idea.  I will look into adding it.

For now, for small sets of numbers (oddly there is no corresponding version of IllegalBin that allows integer_vector parameters):

v_cov_bin1.AddBins(GenBin((2,4,6,8)));

For now, for larger sets of numbers:

for i in 1 to 8 loop
  if i mod 2 = 0 then
    v_cov_bin1.AddBins(GenBin(i));
  end if ;
end loop ;

If you want to detect any remaining bin as an illegal bin, you can do (just make sure you do this last):

v_cov_bin1.AddBins(ALL_ILLEGAL);
