Hi,
RTEMS has been using simulators and some
programs we wrote for coverage analysis
for a while now.
I am looking into writing a converter which
takes coverage data from simulators and produces
.gcno files. The coverage data is often just
a bitmap of which addresses were executed. There
is no frequency, just yes/no. We can already
map that information back to file/line.
+ Is this enough to produce a .gcno file from?
+ What records need to be generated as a minimum?
As a technical sanity question, the RTEMS code
is in a library and we are merging coverage
data from multiple executables to get unified
coverage data. We abstract away physical
address into offsets into methods and file/line.
Does generating a .gcno from this merged data
sound feasible?
Thoughts, insights, comments appreciated.
Thanks.
