Thank you for giving bcov a try.

Yes, I think that the exception is thrown by libelfin as you have mentioned. So I see two options:

open an issue (or better a pull request) to resolve this issue on https://github.com/aclements/libelfin. Once resolved, I can backport the fixes to the version of libelfin that is distributed with bcov .

open a pull request here that fixes this issue. I'm happy to accept it, if concise and easy to review.

Unfortunately, I cannot offer more help because I have moved on to pursue other projects.
