PHP SimpleTest / xdebug code coverage test - ignore some lines

Question

I have a problem with SimpleTest / xdebug test classes - specifically, I have registered a shutdown function to close my test coverage and save the results.

However, this still (correctly) shows up as never reached:

if (error_condition) {
    die();
} // This line is never actually reached, and shows up in the report as unreached, confusing the automatic analyzers. 

Short of avoiding using 'die' for exits, and using exceptions instead, is there a way to mark a line up as 'do not test' ?

Answer 1

I don't think SimpleTest has this, but, it should not even consider it as "not covered". It's just unreachable, and that is not a problem.
