What I am doing is to apply coverage test for xen project (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/), exp for hyperviser. It's like the GCOV/LCOV thing which IBM did for Linux kernel but should be different in hypervisor case. I will base on GCC 3.4 or above. So I need to know some low level knowledge gcov.
I have read the OLS document which IBM present on Linux Symposium. But it seems it only cover GCC 3.3. Also I want to have some document about format of foo.gcda and for.gcno files.
