The following describe the options available in the MPLAB X IDE Analysis categories as well as the VS Code Toolchain > Code Coverage category.

General

Code Coverage instrumentation: This selector controls whether the program output will be instrumented with assembler sequences that record execution of the code they represent and whose data can facilitate analysis of the extent to which a project’s source code has been executed. See Codecov Option and Code Coverage.
Stack Guidance: This checkbox enables the compiler's stack guidance feature. The feature estimates the maximum depth of any stack used by a program and prints a report. See Stack Guidance Option and Stack Guidance.
