Description Plinio Freire CLA 2012-07-04 15:13:17 EDT 
Build Identifier: I20120608-1200

The flags added are -ftest-coverage -fprofile-arcs

About Gcov: 
Gcov is a test coverage program used to analyze your programs to help create more efficient, faster running code and to discover untested parts.

To use gcov, the program must be compiled with two special GCC options: '-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage'. This tells the compiler to generate additional information needed by gcov.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a C or C++ project
2.On project properties -> C/C++ Build, try to set -ftest-coverage -fprofile-arcs as a Debugging flag.
3.The flag checkbox isn't available on the UI
