Just quickly looked at your test:
- line 53: How can bytes ever be NULL?
- Compared to the replay file, are you sure that the same paths are being marked as taken with your
test? For example, is the break in line 43 executed or the return in line 54? It seems that you are
always running with the exact same array whereas it seems likely that the original run used
different arrays (and therefore the profile in the replay reports different paths to be taken).
- Did you compare the output of TraceLoopOpts?

Best regards,
