Bash: heredoc and arrays are not correctly covered

[beatussum]

Description

In bash, if a heredoc has space between the tag and <<[-], the lines of the string are not covered.

Same thing with arrays if they are not defined oneline.

It occurs also with functions in subshells like:

foo() (
    echo "bar"
)

Example

Thanks for the clear test!

This, and other bash parsing issues, should really be handled by #145 , but I don't really have any timeframe for that. I mostly (almost only) use kcov for compiled code myself, so the bash support is sort of neglected by me.

Currently, the following has been fixed (it's not perfect and other issues risk to occur):

• code coverage of heredoc having spaces between <<[-] and the tag (see e208a4e provided by Fix some issues in the Bash engine #459).
• code coverage of subshell functions (see 32c6189 provided by Fix some issues in the Bash engine #459).
• code coverage of multiline arrays. As it's explained in this comment, parsing of these arrays seems quiet difficult without a true parser (see bash: Write proper parser for shell scripts #145).

Thanks a lot for these! I'm closing this issue.

Another note is that there is also a basic parser for bash scripts, which can be used if the default parser goes astray, so I'm not to worried about additional issues.
