<div>The main thread creates a coverage instance and starts it.</div>
<div>During the lifetime of the program I have multiple threads
and I need every once in while to reset or restart the
coverage process (or clear coverage data) from one of the
underlying threads.</div>
<div>Problem is that tracing is stopped after I do that. I guess
it's because I start it from another thread.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a way I can reset/restart coverage from another
thread or manually clear coverage data?</div>
<br>

I haven't heard this need before, to occasionally reset or clear the
coverage data from one of many threads. Can you say more about what
the bigger picture is here? There might be an easier way to get it
done.<br>
