Actually, I believe gcov
supports shared libraries, and I can genereate .gcda and .gcon files for the
library source.
I can use the following command
line to “see” the coverage data, file by file. However, I’m
looking for a easier way, (with GUI) to help me navigate through.
gcov
-f Jmf.cpp -o . | c++filt > junk
vi
junk
What it does in the command line
is compare the cpp source with with the generated data file (.gcno). I’m
a bit confused why in Eclipse plug in it’s looking for gcno file and the
executable file?
Any answer would be appreciated.

Hi,
AFAIK, gcov does not support
shared libraries (see for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3709699/can-gcov-deal-with-shared-object/)
Best regards,

Subject: [linuxtools-dev] gcov for library coverage?
I’m developing a C++ library, and it’s tested by
a cppunit test program.
I wanted to use gcov to check for the library’s code
coverage, but is it currently supported?
I added the –fprofile-arcs and –ftest-coverage
flags to both the library and the test program. What I can see is a beautiful
chart showing me the test program’s coverage. But how do I see the
coverage for my library code?
When I select a .gcno file, and prompted for the binary file
name, selecting the library binary file will give me an error
An error has occurred when parsing the coverage data files :
Checksums don’t correspond for _XXXXXX
Any clues?
Thanks
George
