Downloading the entire site for viewing later or sending

Heiko, Thanks a lot for the wonderful tool. Would it be possible to save the entire website a particular build ?
Asking this for 1. sharing with anyone else 2. viewing later 3. comparing with build with another configuration.

One of the early versions of pucover did in fact generate static pages to produce an "offline" version but I discarded this approach due to amount of time it took for more complex projects and an increasing amount of features (resulting in an unmanageable amount of pages). I believe a (partial) rewrite that pushes at least some of the logic into the client would be a feasible approach for 1 and 2.

"Viewing later" 2 could possibly be done by persisting and reloading the in-memory model after the parsing step.

For comparing versions 3, I usually run two instances of puncover in parallel on different ports but would also love to have specific views that highlight the deltas.

At the moment, I don't have the capacity to do any major work on puncover myself, I am afraid.

Thanks for the quick reply Heiko. Can you please let me know how to run puncover in parallel on different ports?

[Heiko Behrens]

You can set the port explicitly using the --port argument (defaults to 5000)

puncover <any_other_args> --elf build_1/binary.elf --port 5000

and launch another instance for another elf

puncover <any_other_args> --elf build_2/binary.elf --port 5001

Note that you will have to make a copy of your elf (or entire build folder if you are taking advantage of that stack usage analysis) manually. I indicated this here with two different build folders build_1 and build_2.
