No for me func must be only a way for communicate with client machine and control it. For this reason I ask to you an opinion on this ;) Anyway... I want to introduce this kind of analysis in Symbolic and I thought to use func to ask information to client. But it's better to have something on client to collect all "runtime information"... I'll take a look to the other tool... but I think are all complete tool that could be difficult to integrate/use in another application.
