I haven't tried myself, but I agree that it would be extremely
valuable to get these data.
Not only would it allow to complete the test suite, but also to
eliminate dead code.
Note that this information can be obtained by using gcov program and
it's profiling facilities, on cc1plus. It will show exactly which
parts of the c++ front end actually ever execute.
