That won't actually fix the problem - it'd just mean that lcov FTBFS and likely get thrown out of Fedora entirely. > > lcov maintainers have been told they should use the json intermediate format > > from gcov -i instead of trying to parse the binary data. > > Well, not everyone runs Fedora so lcov will still have to support the > binary format for platforms that don't adopt new GCC versions as fast. This has been reported to upstream lcov community every time they break on new GCC releases & I've backported fixes to Fedora once they are available. Most recently I reported the incompatibility with gcc9 way back in January this year https://github.com/linux-test-project/lcov/issues/58 I can't do anything to fix lcov in Fedora until upstream provides the fixes.
