Clear out the previously cached .resultset

Merge two or more SimpleCov::Results into a new one with merged

for the result consisting of a join on all source result's names
SimpleCov::Result with merged coverage data and the command_name
Gets all SimpleCov::Results from cache, merges them and produces a new

dropped. Returns an array of SimpleCov::Result items.
All results that are above the SimpleCov.merge_timeout will be
of SimpleCov::Result from that.
Gets the resultset hash and re-creates all included instances 
def results
  results = []
  resultset.each do |command_name, data|
    result = SimpleCov::Result.from_hash(command_name => data)
    # Only add result if the timeout is above the configured threshold

caching it for subsequent accesses.
Loads the cached resultset from JSON and returns it as a Hash, 
def resultset
  @resultset ||= begin

The path to the .resultset.json cache file 
def resultset_path

end

def resultset_writelock 

def resultset_writelock
  File.join(SimpleCov.coverage_path, ".resultset.json.lock")
end

def store_result(result)

Saves the given SimpleCov::Result in the resultset cache 
def store_result(result)
  synchronize_resultset do
    # Ensure we have the latest, in case it was already cached
    clear_resultset
    new_set = resultset

      f_.puts JSON.pretty_generate(new_set)
    end
  end
  true

Returns the contents of the resultset cache as a string or if the file is missing or empty nil

  synchronize_resultset do
    return unless File.exist?(resultset_path)
    data = File.read(resultset_path)
    return if data.nil? || data.length < 2

given time
Ensure only one process is reading or writing the resultset at any
