This patch set is a proof of concept.
The aim is to better support gcov in free-standing environments. For example,
you can run a test executable which dumps all gcov info objects in a serial
data stream using __gcov_info_to_gcda() and the new __gcov_filename_to_gcfn().
It could be encoded as base64. It could be also compressed. On the host you
unpack the encoded data stream and feed it into gcov-tool using the new
"merge-stream" subcommand:
Hello.
The patch set is approved with the nits provided. Please install the patches
once stage1 opens.
gcov-tool --help
Usage: gcov-tool [OPTION]... SUB_COMMAND [OPTION]...
Offline tool to handle gcda counts
-h, --help Print this help, then exit
-v, --version Print version number, then exit
merge-stream [options] [stream-file] Merge coverage stream file (or stdin)
and coverage file contents
-v, --verbose Verbose mode
-w, --weight <w1,w2> Set weights (float point values)
Example:
base64 -d log.txt | gcov-tool merge-stream
The patch set does not change the format of gcda files.
TODO:
* Documentation
I would install the patches with documentation change bits.
* Tests
Tests can be added after that.
Thank you for the functionality.
Cheers,
Martin
