Call me dumb, but what I don't understand is why you want to have the difference between the before and after snapshots, rather than the plain after snapshot.

Do you want to filter out any code that is executed "by accident" (as it belongs to tools we build and already execute at build time, say) rather than by dedicated tests?

In a sense, even during the tests, very much of our code is executed "by accident" rather than due to dedicated test code calling it: Especially the subsequentcheck stuff contains checks that are not simple unit tests, but start of a complete soffice.bin process, causing "unintended" testing of large parts of the infrastructure code anyway.
