4.2.1.12 The gaps test

  Problem:  Without complete coverage of the compiled code, other tests can miss problems
  Fix By:   Compile with -fplugin=annobin
  Waive If: Not compiling C or C++ code

  Example:  FAIL: gaps were detected in the annobin coverage

This test checks to make sure that there are no gaps in the annobin data for the binary being checked. If gaps are present then this means that some parts of the program might have problems which cannot be detected by annocheck.

If necessary the test can be disabled via the --skip-gaps option and re-enabled via the --test-gaps option.
