Skip individual functions in code coverage?

Is it possible to skip specific functions as part of code coverage?

It's possible to skip specific files but not a specific function. What is the motivation behind trying to ignore the code coverage for some functions ?

Mostly things like getters and setters.

What is the motivation behind trying to ignore the code coverage for some functions

For me:

• I'm porting tests from phpunit, and this is implemented there (https://phpunit.readthedocs.io/en/9.5/code-coverage-analysis.html#ignoring-code-blocks), and this just flagged up with me.
• as the PHPUnit docs say "Sometimes you have blocks of code that you cannot test and that you may want to ignore during code coverage analysis.". An example is when old, untest-ed/-able code is refactored to isolate the bad code, but allow testing (and visibility of coverage) on newer code.
• Primarily visibility. What's tested / what's actively not tested / what ought to be tested but isn't. I cover the notion here: https://blog.adamcameron.me/2017/07/yeah-you-do-want-100-test-coverage.html

My current needs are catered for by being able to skip files (however I do not see anywhere in the docs how to do this? (*)), so I'm just adding this comment to answer the question as to motivation.

Cheers!

(*) presume you mean this: #321 (comment). Can't see it in the docs though. nor can Google.
